The best, bar none is our own Letrinka. Search under "Crystals Xpress" on Ebay. I'd bet you a buck you'll need more than 20 A. Crystals in each color. They're awfully small, and you can use them up before you'd know it.

If you really need 20 apiece of the 5301's, send Letrinka an email. I know that her normal quantity for 5301 4mm bicones is fifty per packet. Fifty 4mm bicones is not a lot.

It took me a few minutes to figure out why you'd think I'll need a whole lot of the 4mm's. The typical crocheted bag would have quite a few of the lil beadies on there, right? Not so with these...I'm actually crocheting the bags entirely without beads, and then adding them on afterwards...as accents, not patterns. So the crystals will just add a touch of *sparkle*. At least, that's the plan...I've never done this before...so I'm hoping it comes out the way I want it to.

Oh, and I just now found Lentrinka's store...she has some dark sapphires I might go for..thanks again, Kathy, for pointing me in her direction!

What I'm working on are a set of Pendant Pockets. These bags will only be about 2inches deep, and will have minimal decorations. I'm trying these out because of something I used to see in my Mom's jewelry box. Whenever she would take out her "treasures" for me to see, she'd always complain about how her pendants would get scuffed and scratched whenever she would rifle thru the box. She sometimes used the black velvet bags, but she always said it looked like a mini funeral in her jewelry box.

So, I decided to try and make something that would be useful in protecting the pieces, and would also have aesthetic value. I'm not sure how these are going to work out yet, but I'm having fun with them!

Wait...did that make it look any less odd?

Interesting idea. Are these "pockets" just for storage? Or will they be dressy enough to wear on a chain over the pendant -- like an artwork within an artwork?

I wonder if you could sell storage pockets to a high end jewelry store, as an "add on" sale for them.

The more I think about what I can do with this idea, the more excited I'm getting about it! I would definetely think that with the right decorations, a Pendant Pocket could be used as part of the jewelry. I just ordered some crystals from Lentrinka, and once I get them in, I'll be able to try out some different things. I can also see them as a sort of "gift wrap/bag."

Right now, DH and I are whipping out the last few pieces of our hemp order, cause the guilt over not having That done was interfering with my ability to focus on the crocheting. By tomorrow morning, I should be all set to give this my full attention. :)
