Beading beads

[littlesky49]

I was just wondering what is your favorite size and style of beads to work with and what is your least favorite?

seed beads, cut beads or another type of bead.

Size 11 cuts (charlottes)

I use 11/o Czech for just about all my loom work. I have 12&13s that I use sometimes too. I have a pretty good stash of super tiny beads, who knows if I will ever get around to using those. But my all time favorite are 8/o Hong Kong beads in the multi-color value pack from the Walmart craft department. Nothing says quality like Walmart.

I get along with almost any breed of bead but the crooked, uneven ones bring out my bad side. I am also not too fond of bugles and beads with that ugly pearlized finish. Other than that, I am pretty easy to please.

bugle beads should be outlawed ... jkz

ya i kinda get along with all kinds of beads LOL .... have a preference towards size 11 n 12 cuts .... and the occasional seed bead LOL

[OLChemist]

18/0, 16/0, 13/0, 11/0, 13/0 cuts, 15/0cuts.

I like 18/0, 15/0 cuts, and 16/0 for gourd stitch.

I favor 13/0, 13/0cuts, and 11/0 for lane stitch & applique.

I don't like anything for loom stitch, but I'm prejudiced against loomwork, LOL.

Totally depends on what I am working on. Which ever size or style or even color of bead works the best at that time are my very favorites....which ever dont do the job are my very least favorites. Heck, I even love 16s and their darn needles, if I need 'em that small!!

You Snob! LOL!

I prefer size 9 n 12 tri-cut beads, and to make some awesome detail work I rather work with size 13 charolettes.

[spottedeagle]

I agree it depends on the size of the project and the amount of detail in the design. I know folks who do it, but it would take me forever to bead huge pieces with size 16's or 18's. A friend of mine only beads with 13's and smaller, regardless of the size of piece.
For me I use 11's and 13's seed beads and charlottes mostly

You Snob! LOL!

LOL. I like how loomwork looks. I just would rather try to smuggle beading scissors past TSA than *do* loomwork.

I love the 13/0 charlottes. I do an applique style beading. I love woodland patterns mostly. I am always looking at nature for inspiration.
