Czech Steel Beads

I was looking through my bead stash to pick out colours for my beaded DeLorean DMC-12 when I realized I have many choices of seed beads!

They are steel-coloured glass seed beads. Hex cuts and bugles. I'm not sure, but I think they're gonna make my beaded time machine look cool! Now, I better get beading! :D

Czech beads are cool. Czech beer is pretty cool too!

I love seeing beads in packages. There's something so fun about all of them in there, waiting to be used in creations!

I love the colors you picked...just one suggestion...the edges of the hex and the bugles look fairly sharp so if you have a round seed bead to string between them, it will keep them from cutting your thread.

The Lone Beader said...

Beadbabe! Thanks for the suggestion. I know that trick but never remember to do it! Instead, I usually stitch very wide and use a lot of thread...

What a choice!
Do you ever use Venetian glass beads? I have a friend who regularly travels to Venice to buy glass beads to make jewellary with and I remember she used to make children's necklaces out of tiny little coloured glass beads from Venice.

HI Lorenzo! I have not seen many Venetian glass seed beads in America, so I'm thinking about traveling there to find some myself! :D

I knew you would have some! I just knew it. Those are cool beads for your car.

Lazy, me? You bet!
