Where can I find some good purple beads? I like the color of the silver lined red violet delicas on fire mountain but I want to use czech beads because they are less expensive. But the purple czech beads look grey to me.

How much do you need? I have some purple to sell. They are a dark purple color that is created by a light blue transparent bead lined with light purple. They are beautiful and hold up. I have a couple of hanks of a light purple too that has an AB coating on it. Let me know how much you are looking for and maybe I can help you out. -
I'd take her up on it, not an easy colour to find in a good shade. I either buy it when ever I see a good shade or The other thing I do if I want purple is order it and pay, the only colour I don't mind paying to much for.Comment

You are right on this being a hard color to find.
I found a few hanks at an estate sale once- they are something like size 10 and 1/2 (between an 11 and a 10) but the color is great. I am very finicky about when i use them.Comment

Purple is tricky to find. I found some tubes at a bead show, of shiny lavender and semi transparent grapeish color. I still havent found the purple shade i was initially looking for :P
Its easier to find purple porky quills than beads

Asmajol, what shade are you looking for? I have several that I am looking to sell.Comment

I wanted to find a strong (opposite of dull and bland) Royal Purple to use in making a pressie for someone. I have other colors to match their regalia but not that.

What do you think about these?Originally posted by Asmajol View PostI wanted to find a strong (opposite of dull and bland) Royal Purple to use in making a pressie for someone. I have other colors to match their regalia but not that.
I have several containers of them left over. They look kind of light in the pic but they are really rich colored.Comment

They are 40 gram containers I think. No tubes or hanks. They are really nice and uniform. I'll let them go for $4 a container plus shipping.Comment

What do you think of the czech transparent dark purple 3 cuts?Comment
-
What about dyed beads? Galvanized beads?Comment

Don't know about the 3 cuts but usually 3 cuts are pretty good. Dyed beads will fade. I've never dealt with galvanized beads.Comment

I've designed a pattern for a headband that I'd like to make for my fiance. I've decided to do it in peyote flat stitch. I'm all ready, buuuut......I don't know where to get my beads. I went to Crazy Crow and I found German seed beads, italian, czech, etc, etc. I didn't realize there were so many types?...10-26-2008, 02:08 PM -
Long time since I've been able to post anything to Powwows :-)
I'm relatively new to beading, and have decided to fully bead my next fancy feather cape/apron/sidetab/cuff set. I'll be appliqueing [sp?] the entire thing because a.) the design is fairly intricate and b.) two-needle applique...10-03-2007, 11:32 AM -
