Seed Beads and More
February 11, 2008 by beadlounge
The size 11 seed beads have arrived!
We’re tagging them and putting them out on the wall for sale; and we’re almost 3/4 of the way through with this huge job.
We have more than 250 colors available now in this size and in size 6.
When talking about seed beads, the number refers to how many beads (approximately) fit in an inch. So size six beads are larger than size 11’s. Size 15s are ALMOST too tiny to work with! But bead artists who do seed bead embroidery and fringe love having size and color options with which to do their work.
Heidi Kummli is well known for her gorgeous beadwork.
Her new book written with Sherry Serafini is also available at Bead Lounge. Pick up a copy and some seed beads for use in your next beading project.
We’re very luck to be able to boast that Heidi is one of our local artisans whose work is featured in the Bead Lounge Gallery.
