First can I just say that you are just the cutest thing ever!!!! And may I welcome you to the fold. You have officially joined the rest of us and I also need to warn you, it gets worse. Hahaha!!! I think your stash is perfect. You have so much there to work with, which tells me that you are paying attention. You may not have a favorite direction yet, but that being said, some of us never really find it so you are in good company. If you would not mind a little advice from an old hand and a hard core beader? Let me just say this. Your stash will outgrow your space faster than you can even imagine. Do yourself a favor and go thru and clear out items that you know you will never use. There is no real expiration date, so you can opt to keep them forever. What I do when I clear my stash is put together at least a gallon sized baggie with items I no longer want taking my coveted space. Then I will call girl scout leaders, teachers, and others who deal with crafty young people that would use those items and give them away. I do the same with my paints and other things. It helps give them inspiration and something fun to keep our young people creative and occupied. Afterward, you feel so good about giving some stuff to others that you get inspired to create. At least I do. You have wonderful beads. Make some wonderful jewelry or lamp shades or purses or tote bags. You have everything it takes. Trust your instincts. You got this. Thank you for the video and your introduction. Very nice.

So glad you are doing well and working hard on being successful. Not an easy road, but in the end, it all pans out. Love every bead you showed. Especially the lampwork beads. Most of the jewelry I make and sell are of those types. Lastly, we all have that ONE CAT!🤣🤣 We look forward to hearing from you soon. Take Care and Congrats!♥❣🤎💓

Just found your channel. Love your taste! Being that this video is from Nov 2021, you might have already looked up the beads you weren't sure of. If not, I think the teardrop and the blue druzy beads are Crazy Lace Agate, but don't quote me on that. I have an app called Rock Identifier that helps me a lot. It's the first and only app I have ever paid for, but it's worth it and a lot of fun to use. I'm gobsmacked that you got those gorgeous big beads for so little! I use big beads pretty much exclusively, so I'm swooning over your finds and totally jealous. Well done! The Dalmation Jasper nugget shape is often called rhombus. I think the Lapis is a higher grade, because of the consistent dark color. The dragon beads... wow. The Turquoise heishi beads (could be African Jasper) are my favorite of your finds. Stunning! I think the 3 big oval beads might be Cherry Blossom Agate. The carved flowers are usually made from Jade. The peach colored bead shape is usually referred to as a smooth rondelle. Heishi have all flat sides and rondelles are rounded. Could be Strawberry Quartz, but most likely Cherry Quartz, which is actually made from glass. I'm not sure what that last green stone beads are, but they're lovely. The polka dot Kazuri beads appear to be bone. I've been buying African glass beads since the 70s and I've never heard of Kazuri. Glad you had that info for us to read. Search KZbin for how African bone, brass, and glass beads are made (particularly Ghana glass beads). Super low tech and incredibly fascinating. I think the star cut beads are Jade and Carnelian. I've never heard of Silverite before, but I'm drooling over that gorgeous color. Very happy to hear a fellow beader use swear words in their videos. Makes me feel at home. LOL! What a fantastic haul!! Glad I found your channel today. Subscribed and will definitely be back.

Beads and cats are the perfect combo! The big downside of compartmentalized storage containers is all the empty space. But they stack and look a lot more organized... tradeoffs. The Dollar Tree (the $1.25 Tree) have 6 or 8 clear round containers with snap on lids. I use these in the plastic drawers you have to organize beads/findings. I like them bc if you store them upside down, it is easy to see the contents. They also sell smaller multi-compartment boxes which are great to store focals. You have a done a great job organizing, especially as you don't have a dedicated craft space. Everyone has their own method, but I would really consider get all my finding together, sorted by metal. It really helps design when you see all you options and it helps with inventory control of things used a lot... head pins, ear wires, toggles, etc... Echo is stunning btw.

I would have so much fun sorting through all those beadcaps and spacer beads! If you ever go through them all then let me know in the silver pack if there were a lot of pairs or groups of ones that were the same that you can use all on one bracelet I'm just really curious because if there is lots of matches then I will like to go get me some too! Nice haul! Thank you for sharing 🙂
@craftedlove85872 жыл бұрын
I definitely had fun sorting!! I don’t know what it is but sorting/organizing is so therapeutic. With the bead caps there were a lot of certain designs where you could easily make a bracelet and have enough, but then there were other bead cap designs that came with only a few. I’d still recommend them but definitely sort through them to make sure you have enough for your project first!☺️

*snorts* Cats! I have 8. It makes beading....interesting...if nothing else. LOL LOVE that first box! I have all my beads (I normally work with 10/0, 11/0, and 8/0 seeds, plus bugles of various sizes) sorted and stored...but all those extras - ear studs (and backs), ear wires, various types of clasps, etc. - are basically in baggies tossed into an empty toolbox. I really need to get those sorted better.

@@craftedlove8587 I - thankfully - do have one who doesn't care about "string", but...he's also the one who has actually tried to eat my beads! At least none of the others have done that. Cats are weird. LOL Right now, I have to time my crafting for when most of them are napping. I desperately need a separate craft room - with its own door - soon.

I can’t imagine having 8 cats and trying to plan your crafting time around them. I’m right with you though, I’d absolutely love to have my own craft room. It’s definitely a goal of mine but I know I probably won’t have one for a while. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for both of us! 🤞

Final question, do you only buy beads you know you’ll use or are you like me where something is pretty and you can’t resist buying it? I have so many beads I’ve only been doing this for a year and have no idea what to do with half of them lol looking for a new way to shop if that makes sense. Love your videos!
