This and yesterday's posts are so helpful. I have a lot of metallic beads and like including a bit in my projects. I'm not always sure which to use. They look a bit different in the bag compared to in a project. I think I'm going to make some of those sample swatches like you shared yesterday. Great way to see how they work up into a project. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that my posts are helpful. Thanks for your nice comment, Michelle.
DeleteI don't necessarily include metallic beads in every project, but your posts are making me think about having the same exact color in three different sizes, which definitely seems valuable, so I am starting to place some orders (with a spreadsheet to keep track of what is coming; I had like $50 credit at Artbeads so I started there while they were having a sale yesterday).
ReplyDeleteI am avoiding nickel, though. Although I like the color I wonder if the finish would activate my metal allergies.
Linda, you've got me thinking a lot about my use of metallics lately. Silver, pewter and bronze are my go-tos and I adore copper and hematite. I love Toho's Dark Bronze because it's a warm dark coppery color. I'm also partial to a (very) few metallic colors like chocolate, dark mauve, amethyst gun metal, and pale dogwood.
ReplyDeleteI don't use gold tones much but during a recent Fusion Beads sale I picked up some new (to me anyway) gold and bronze Tohos to try out: Old Gold, Medal Bronze, Almond, and Golden Fleece. Time to make up some samples and try something different!
Thanks for another great post.

Hi Barbara. I've never heard of any of those Toho colors. Do you have the color numbers for them? I'm wondering if they also go by different names depending on who is selling them.
DeleteSure, Linda! The Dark Mauve I mentioned is actually Miyuki, but here are the Tohos:
ReplyDeleteDark Bronze #222
Metallic Amethyst Gun Metal #90
Metallic Pale Dogwood Hybrid #YPS0076 (satin finish)
Old Gold #PF591
Golden Fleece #PF592
Almond #PF593
Medal Bronze #PF594
(Miyuki) Dark Mauve #4213
Some I've picked up locally here in Oregon, others from Fusion Beads, Lima Beads, Supply Emporium, Artbeads, etc. I noticed Charlene has some of the gold/bronze beads on her site flagged *new* so maybe they haven't been around long. I also noticed what she calls Dark Copper is what the others call Dark Bronze #222. Otherwise, most seem to use the same names.

Thank you, Barbara.
