>Seed Bead Heaven

>

A catalog from a company called Seed Bead Heaven arrived in my mailbox yesterday. They actually contacted me when they saw Rudy's Dream in this month's Bead & Button Magazine, and asked if they could send me a catalog... I asked if they carry size 15's, which is what I use the most. Each tube of Japanese size 15's contains approximately 5400 beads. I took a look at their Frequently Asked Questions, and it says that is equal to 30 grams. Depending on the color, I still think Fire Mountain Gems has better prices...

As you can see, I sort of have a little 'seed bead heaven' of my own, and here's where I store it. In a rolling 4-drawer storage unit from IKEA. It also has a white top, in case I feel like doing any beading or sorting of colors there...

All of my seed beads are in the second drawer down.

As you can see, I could stand to do some organizing... Usually, when I'm looking for colors, I just dig around until I find a suitable one, which is what I'll be doing very soon. I'm going to have to decide on a color for the cushion part of my Scandinavian love seat.

Back to working on my latest piece:)
