A few beads a day... keep my wallet empty!

Edited by anniekins at 2023-10-24 15:41






Its not too easy to find small bicone beads where I am from, much less the transparent ones!
Theyre often called "balloon beads" here.

Finally found a seller with an amazing price, and went for 1kg (2.2lbs) right off the bat!! Theyre 4mm.

"Why are you hoarding them like a crow with shiny things if youre a tanager, silly bird??"
SIMPLE! I hand dye them! Finding one color is hard enough, multiples is almost impossible. But we have plenty acrylic dyes and they work well! Transparent beads look pretty when dyed, give it a try!
(Ps: yes, these have a white center, but thats a detail that just adds to it in my opinion. Aaaand its all I could find. Off to make nice colors!)

I want to see what they look like after you dye them! I bought acid dye in a recent trip to the US and Im now waiting for an order of merino yarn to be delivered to me so I dye it.. so excited!! :D
