MYSTERY SUPERDUO BRACELET
- 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
- 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Pewter" (4222)
- 8/0 seed beads "Green" (no info available)
- SuperDuo beads "Rembrandt Matte Turquoise Green"
I used another Rembrandt SuperDuo color to make this set. This color is called "Matte Turquoise Green" but it's not even remotely turquoise. I would call it "pea green". I'm not a big fan of green but I like this color because of the mottled finish on it.
I just happened to have some 8/0 green seed beads that compliment the SuperDuos very nicely. I also used some of them to make the earrings. Unfortunately there is no brand marked on the tube that I bought in a local shop years ago. I suspect that they are made by Matsuno because they are very poorly shaped. The stock number on the tube is 8-411L but I wasn't able to find that color with a Google search. However, it did bring up some shades of green in Matsuno beads but not the green with "L" at the end of the number.

I love this one! But then green is my Favorite color. Does seem that the Rembrandts have strange names for their colors, but no matter what you call them, they are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Claire. If you know of any 8/0 seed beads that go well with these SuperDuos, please let me know what they are. Of course 8/0 Pewter beads would work fine but it's fun to use an accent color.
Delete8-411L might be size 8 Miyuki Leaf Green or Dark Avocado. I said might be!!! I love green so think the above is great looking---
ReplyDeleteThose colors sound about right but I wasn't able to find any place online that had that color number. Do you know of a site?
DeleteI just did a Google search for Miyuki 411L and found something that looks about right: Leaf Green. I don't know anything about that site though.
DeleteJust realized that they were 11/0 and I don't know if they have them in 8/0 there.
DeleteYou are right. They only show up in a couple of places (Charlene's & Mies) but only as 11/0. I would buy both if I could find the 8/0.
