[NFB-Blind-Crafters] The many color of snowflakes class date corrected

Tue Nov 5 00:17:18 UTC 2024

Here are some color recommendations for the Seed Bead Snowflake Ornament Class On Wednesday  Nov 13  at 8pm Zoom info is  at the bottom of the email.
This  is a beginner of-loom bead weaving  project.  Size 6 seed beads  are required.

Naturally, when we think  of snowflakes, the first color  that springs to mind is plain white. However,  The world of  glass seed beads has more than one way to look at the color   white. 

Seed  bead manufacturers have different terms to describe the sheane they apply to the surface of their beads that make them sparkle and/or refract colors when exposed to light.

Aurora Borealis or AB for short, Luster, rainbow,  iridescent  or iris all give  off a rainbow-like prism effect refraction. It then makes it easy to  turn that  snowflake into a sun catcher by adding a string, hook and  suction cup to hang it  in the window. 

Frosted

or Matt finished beads give off a frosty look and feel to the glass.  

There are also matalic, galvanized or Duricoat which are terms that describe a metalic alloy added to the surface  of the glass. 

Cut beads or hex cut beads are faceted which  allows for natural light to refract colors.

Some other related colors for snowflakes  can be clear crystal, silver or silver-lined beads, ice blue or silver-lined blue,  or beads that shimmer like moonstone.Some seed beads come in different shapes and some are transparent which allows you to look completely through the glass, translucent which means you can see only partially through the bead  and opaque  which means you cannot see through the glass.  

Color

lined  has an outer color on the  outside and other color on the inside.

Now here is what you need for this class:
