Miyuki Glass Drops

Miyuki drops are 3.4mm and as far as I know, that's the only size they make.

Magatamas are about 4mm and slightly squarish.

LMAO! Marisa, I love that :-) That deserves to be done up in x-stitch or beadpoint.

Don't we all Becki? A local craft chain went out of business about five years ago and I bought a lot of fabric at a very good price...now I'm thinking of selling the fabric because it's just not going to happen.

My latest accident is a doozy...I'll have a sales ad soon. I underestimated how much a half kilo of seed beads is :-D

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for letting me know. That's kind of a shame they don't come bigger. I haven't heard of magatamas before. I'll have to order a sample :-)

Best, Christine

ROFLOL!!! That makes for quite a picture! :-) Alison

I CANNOT quit laughing!!!! Have we not all been there? What color?

Becki

Now that you mention it, I'll take a pic when I get home!

Best, Christine

:-D Glad to have made your day!

I have transparent red, opaque black, opaque white and transparent crystal. It seemed more economical to order them by the half-kilo than by the hank. So I thought...well, I would probably end up using a lot of the basics - black and white - and then of course because I do Christmas crafts, red and silver. It's probably a good thing I said "Hmm, this is getting expensive" or else I would have green and gold as well!

Well gosh...a half kilo is 1.1 lbs btw. So I have 4.4 lbs of beads! That's more than a lifetime's worth of seed beads :-D I can't believe that it didn't dawn on me that I was ordering that much.

We're booked for three Christmas craft sales, so I'll bag a few of each colour and maybe they can find new homes. A friend has already taken 40 grams off my hands, but if I can sell 250 grams of each, that would make a sufficient dent. I'll be sure to take a picture when I get home.

I love miyuki drops! I use them for so much..borders on peyote stitch, in free-form peyote, in bead embroidery, in spiral rope (they look amazing in spiral rope)...I have so many tubes of them that they take up two and a half organizers.

Christine -- I need some opaque black -- how much per hank plus shipping to the states? You can email me with the answer.

Becki

I can see why you love them so much! It sounds like you have a real mountain of them. I haven't tried spiral rope or peyote, although I have a Beadstyle Basics magazine which shows how. Thanks for sharing that idea...I'll have to try it with once I master it with seed beads :-)

Hi Alison,

Here you go:

Best, Christine

There are NO spending accidents, just beads that haven't met their coordinating buddies yet! hahahahahahahaha

Makes me feel as if I could just scoop them up and run off with them. Shirley

OMG! It looks like YARN!! I can believe how many beads that must be.

Those clear ones call to me... despite the fact that I don't bead (I just collect! :-)

alison

I just want to roll around in them...naked. LOL

On a related note...last week at my weekly beading group I was voted the Best Person to Spend Other People's Money. I am the Queen of Coordinating Bead Buddies, lol.
