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.

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!

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 had a whole day today of talking/looking at & buying a couple  Roll Eyes of beads.  Didn't manage to make anything but the groundwork is getting there  Grin

Rats, my "couple" has been busted.

I was actually very well-behaved and only bought two strands of beads - one freshwater pearls (very good price at £3) and one is a mix of firepolish/AB crystals (£2.60 I think it was).  The bloomin' wire cost more than the beads  Roll Eyes
Oh, and a few grams of some really pretty bugle beads.
