I went on a little beading course last week and have become hooked on what I made.

I managed to get some more beads from Hobbycraft, but not really the ones I wanted - I really need a silver ball bead.

I looked on Hobbycraft's website and although it shows all the beads, it only lists the colours as numbers.

I also looked on Google for beads but just wanted a simple website display showing the colour of the beads and their name colour.

It is Gutermann beads I am after.

Any ideas ?

Thanks x

Bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. Why not ask the tutor where they came from? perhaps she'll sell you some?

[Luvachicken]

Thanks Plum.

The tutor said she got them from Hobbycraft.

I did manage to get some more from there but they didn't have the colours she had.

 

Never mind, there is a gem and bead show at the Farnham Maltings tomorrow and Sunday so I might go and have a look and see what they have.

[Luvachicken]

Well, what a disappointment the gem and bead show was

It cost me £4 to get in and there was just one room of stuff

A total waste of time and money.

I'd have been better off driving all over the place looking in nice shops on the chance they had what I needed.

So frustrating and I could have spent the £4 in Hobbycraft in the first place.

I'd have been miffed as well

 

Enjoy your bead shop tour

There's a bead shop down a side street in Winchester. I go past it when I walk from the main shopping centre down to the Leisure Centre (which is where I park because it's cheap). Might be worth googling " beads in Winchester" as I think they also do mail order.

[Plum]

and you haven't shown us what you made yet. I'd love to see

[Luvachicken]

and you haven't shown us what you made yet. I'd love to see

 

Not sure I can show you because I am making them for my Christmas swappee and then they would guess it was me

 

And thanks Patricia, I will google that and see

Found it! It's called World of Beads and it's on Parchment St Winchester. I'm never used beads, but some look luscious.

[Luvachicken]

I must admit I needed a new little hobby and I'm very pleased with what I made on the course, and I'm even more pleased that I have made another one by myself at home

That's why I need the beads that we used on the course, so I know I will do it right and it will come out the same.

 

Patricia, I looked at the shop and they do have lots of lovely beads but not in the number I need (size), but I have found a lovely shop that does mail order in Nottingham and has what I might want

[Plum]

Yeh well found. Those websites are like going into a sweetie shop. Try Spellbound at Litchfield

 

Lots of inspiration link to goodies

[Luvachicken]

Oooh yes, I looked on Spellbound already

And there are even some instructions to make other stuff.

Thank you Plum x
