If so, do you have photos? I haven't beaded for years (both stringing and woven type work, though my penchant was for peyote-stitched items such as bags and bands), but have been thinking about getting back to it.
I will try and get some photos of some of my older work though I am going to attempt a quick project for something for Chances Rescue that I have in mind as well.
My favorite size beads to work with were 16s (average seed beads are 10 or 12 and they get smaller the higher the number, or the hole size does, but also the beads do, too). I have some that are upwards of size 30, though, they are antique beads made in the 1800s and require a very tiny needle but they are unique colors and I paid a LOT to get them.
I like the Japanese Delica beads, too, and made a lot of items from those as well.
I have boxes of things such as natural stones and crystal beads that I collected and turned into wearable art, also.
It's a shame I haven't been keeping up on it, but it's kinda hard to keep two toddlers out of such things and wow, it would be a pain to have to pick them up or vacuum them up after a spill! *LOL*
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what's out there. Something about beads (I think I was a packrat in another life) really floats my boat, though!
