Ok, I know I haven't answered your question, but I am distracted by those leaves! Staples would def have to be Vintaj and czech beads also,colors greens,turquoise,and blues.

Right now it would be a toss up between Czech glass and Swarovski crystals.<br />I would love to use more Vintaj brass findings, just haven't find the time yet to incorperate them!

Can't answer that go-to question - too many possibilities! Anything with a dragonfly seems to be a seller, then pearls, of course, garnets, and probably turquoise is the most used. But I have a nice collection of Humblebeads, too! Don't forget Vintaj and copper. that was a good question, really got me thinking!Off the Beadin' Pathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698952086696011597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-32031717336284887232011-11-20T14:46:31.071-05:002011-11-20T14:46:31.071-05:00Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!

I don't do a ton of beading, but right now, I am making some bracelets for Christmas gifts and am in love with semiprecious stone beads (jaspers, agates, etc.) and just can't get enough of the beautiful earth tones, swirling colors, etc. I could actually see using one of your branch beads as the closure bead for one of the bracelets.

Well, I find I often use a certain kind of small rustic circular spacer heishi type beads in my designs. In brass or copper because that's the metals I most often work with (even if lately I have started to long for silvery colors too). I guess they work as 'travelling' components between the beads and/or other parts. They are important even though they are small and seamingly insignificant. I also often use 2 mm round beads in brass or copper. For the same reason I guess.Malin de Koninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479961009540756244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-73974505750508405352011-11-20T05:09:10.261-05:002011-11-20T05:09:10.261-05:00Your disk beads are my favorite.
