I've got a cunning plan for doing something with Swarovski crystals (bicones 3mm & 4mm).  I've looked around at pretty much every beading place on the web until there's smoke coming out of my tiny brain.

Anybody know of a good, decently priced place for them?  Unfortunately the Brighton Bead Shop doesn't do them  Undecided  The prices vary wildly from one site to another and it's really starting to get on my wick now.

Something to bring me out of lurkdom!

Depends on what colour and quality you are looking for.  I don't know if I have seen 3mm but there is a lot of 4mm about.  I have to check my invoices but you could try eBay.

Hi Akua!

Thanks - I've had a quick look at eBay, but there are so many other beading sites around I can't decide which to go for.  I need a mix of 3 & 4mm - 4mm are everywhere, but I'd like to be able to get both sizes from one place to avoid lots of different p&p.

I just found somewhere that does a mix of 100 x 4mm bicones which would be great but they don't do 3mm in anything.  Grrrr.  I can't decide on the thread to use either - so many different ones to choose from and my book just says 25mm nylon thread  Undecided  Trust me to pick something that's not as simple as it looks first off!

I will see what I can find and report back. 

The thread issue is mind boggling - 7 strands, 9 strands, etc.  Huh?

Thanks Akua.

The thread thing is just baffling!  I saw one earlier that was a 49 thread waxed, super duper "wire".  No idea what you'd use it for so I've given up for tonight I think.

Thanks Akua.  I've looked at them, and their prices don't seem too bad.

I just sold my entire collection last night there was hundreds of quids worth there and I gave it away at £15- bad timing! I always got them off ebay
