I'm not sure what brand the dark copper seed beads are and that's not the actual name for them. I bought them locally in a shop that mostly sells Miyuki seed beads. However, these aren't the high quality that is typical of Miyuki so I suspect that they're some other brand, perhaps Matsuno. The shapes are quite irregular like some other Matsuno copper seed beads that I've got.
I got some beads like that- I think they were czech, and I used them in a peyote freeform bracelet. I have read that other people will cull their beads before a project. I think it just depends on what I am making..... I like the bracelet :)
ReplyDeleteI had to do way too much culling of my beads when I was first learning and using cheap Chinese seed beads. I never want to have to do that again. Of course even Miyuki's beads have the occasional dud but it's rare.
