Or, maybe use jump rings between the motifs.lindalowcarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594808847717258786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006131256529451628.post-63858215818786824602015-01-20T20:18:55.368-06:002015-01-20T20:18:55.368-06:00I love this style!

The link will take you directly to the Metallic page. Charlene has the best prices on "metal" seed beads. A large tube 11/0 Dark Bronze is $5.00 from Charlene and they're at least $15.00 for the same size tube at the local shop. Even with shipping they're a bargain.lindalowcarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594808847717258786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006131256529451628.post-31136589351664958382015-01-19T16:23:41.578-06:002015-01-19T16:23:41.578-06:00Hi, Linda

The thread tends to show more and the colors can look dark and dull against my skin. However, I'm sure that you'll come up with something pretty to make with yours. Every now and then I come up with a color combo using transparent or translucent beads that I really love.lindalowcarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594808847717258786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006131256529451628.post-62862536755729886762015-01-19T13:52:49.271-06:002015-01-19T13:52:49.271-06:00All of your samples are beautiful!

I especially like the Silky earrings.<br />I ordered some clear Silkys because I didn't know what pattern I was going to use, and I haven't used them yet, they have no personality!

I have ordered her ear hooks in Champagne gold--they are the best color match to the dark bronze and lighter bronze seed beads and are also Nickel-free. Now I can order the matching jump rings!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14134690956764798176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006131256529451628.post-80757935043993445392015-01-19T09:53:25.681-06:002015-01-19T09:53:25.681-06:00Most of the time I use 4mm jump rings but it also ...Most of the time I use 4mm jump rings but it also depends on the bracelet and also how thick the clasp is. If it's a large, chunky style bracelet or the loop of my clasp is too fat to fit on a 4mm ring, I will use 6mm rings. Those are a bit hard to find though but I just recently bought a huge stash of them in various colors from <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/4mm-5mm-6mm-7mm-8mm-10mm-12mm-20mm-Jump-Rings-Open-Connectors-8Colors-1-/261034549889?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3cc6df2281" rel="nofollow">THIS</a> eBay shop. lindalowcarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594808847717258786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006131256529451628.post-89926753798933277332015-01-19T09:09:00.912-06:002015-01-19T09:09:00.912-06:00I love the idea of using an 8/0 to attach a jump r...I love the idea of using an 8/0 to attach a jump ring.
