We were able to get some rather unusual beads from Toho recently -- one of the importers we work with had a great inventory-clearance sale and some that I had my eye on but hadn't ever gotten because they were a bit too pricey were suddenly within reach. So watch for some really striking beads coming onto the website within the next couple of weeks. Here is the first of those.
This is quite a unique color for a bead -- I am not sure how to describe it. A hexagonal size 8/0, this has fiery aspects and cool aspects -- I see plum and I see flame.
Easily used wherever 8/0 beads are called for, these are packaged in the smaller 20 gram containers. I estimate about 40 beads per gram though I am not 100% certain of that -- if you figure between 30 and 40 you should be just fine.
