My friend teaches classes for stitching on 40-thread to the inch silk gauze. She's working on a sampler now that will fit in a watch case.
I would never begin to try that! They don't make a magnifying glass good enough for me!

Omigosh!
Thanks LC! I've sent you my snail.
Is vellux a blanket, like you'd put on the bed? Or is it something just for beading?
I'm not LC but I can finally answer a question!! LOL Yes, vellux is a blanket and it's wonderful for holding those tiny beads in place. :)

something just for
snail mail addy
spare a hunk!
Thanks Anna!
You can try a piece of felt but your needle will get hung up in the tiny fiber loops. Ditto for a kitchen towel.
Could I trade something for a modest hunk of this lovely sounding stuff too, please?? Anything but the kids. I kind of like them. Diana
Omigosh! You guys are telling me way more than I wanna know!
It's all just a matter of scale, isn't it?
I used to think 22 ct was teeny and now I think 14 count looks like tablecloth checks!

Yes. Trade me for your snail mail addy! (I know I had it before, but I lost it!)

I like using Blue Moon Beads. They are 11's and they are fairly uniform. I just made a bracelet with a design I came up with. I will post pics soon. That is what I made my peyote purse from.
I love seed beads and I am just learning to appreciate big beads. he he
I could Wow. I am going to show my DH this. He thought my beading habit was bad! At least you have a good variety when you want to do a project. I still head to the store and buy what I need! My piece of advice always buy more than you think you need. Then you have extra left over in case you want expand your project in the middle of making it. Sometime a bracelet turns into a necklace! That is when I can't stop!
That is what I like using. I have this little bowl. It make stabbing them really easy.
Hmmmm Business oppurtunity!
