[Nfb-krafters-korner] Beading Needles and Free Shipping

Tue Aug 21 14:47:43 UTC 2012

I have been using Beadsmith #12s for my encusted bead working and it works 
very well but it is hard to get the 10 # Fireline through the eye of the 
needle.  I was hoping someone else might be doing something different and 
having more success with something else. I will attach a photo of my latest 
talisman for those who can see a photo via enlargement. It is called 
_Serpentine Pathways_ and that is becaue the idea for this talisman came 
from the three beautiful pieces of black serpentine cabochons that I had 
bought at a gem show a few years ago.  For this talisman, I used Serpentine, 
and Tree Agates. I combines them with Swarovski Crystals in clear and Pale 
Green Opal. I also used Green Opal Gem stones, 4 mm rounds and Japanese Seed 
Beads in Black and Emerald Green.  I worked on this one about 8 hours a day, 
for several weeks - these take a very long time to do as they are very thick 
layers of beadwork.  The back of the pendant is also finished beautifully, 
and features Deep Green Ultra Suede encircled by black Japanese Beadworking.

>>
>> Here is what I found when I contacted www.artbeads.com  with my 
>> questions:
>>
>> The larger the needle size, the smaller the eye.  Example:  Size 12 had a
>> smaller eye than size 10.
>>
>> When using Fireline 3 pound or Fireline 10 pound, you can use a size 12
>> beading needle for both  sizes.
>>
>> The brand I buy is Beadsmith, and they are available through
>> www.artbeads.com
>>
>> I also found that on their website, there is a "chat" option, and it is a
>> live chat. As soon as you type in your question, someone is there to help
>> you, and get you the answers you need.
>>
>> I had problems placing my order, and the chat person put me in touch with
>> the customer service person who called me on the phone within a couple of
>> minutes, and my order was completed.
>>
>> GREAT SERVICE - and if you spend 10. or more, it is all free shipping. I
>> highly recommend this business for the great service and help available.
>> Good to know!
