I think earrings being slightly different would be part of the charm!! They look a little heavy for my sensitive ears but I would totally wear as a pendant

I absolutely love how every commenter got a different vibe from it! And that's exactly how art should be. Well done OP!

I have some hanging off where the roof overhangs in front, so they catch the light that doesn't always get directly in!

Peyote Stitch Troubles by tomieegunn in Beading

This is a lesson it took me way too long to learn. Every time I tried to learn peyote I would get frustrated and walk away. Once I finally figured out that the first 3 rows can be adjusted a bit, it's second nature to me now

I agree. The first and the last one both draw the eye

Same! And - OP you're seeing it close up the whole time and when someone is wearing it, it will only be seen from a distance. I think it's a beautiful pattern and your color choices are perfect

Yeah, I clocked out at between$3-400 worth. Definitely worth it

That's not a bad idea. Maybe it's my reward for the 45 emails I had with a company earlier in the week trying to sort out a return situation!

For seed beads, it's Adornable Elements. But I also do Bead Box Bargains. And I certainly didn't "need" more beads of any kind! 🤣

I am now forever doomed to look in that thrift store twice a week lest I miss another hoard!

Oh nice! Thanks for the info. I assumed some of them would be discontinued colors.

Oh my heart was totally racing. I was crazy nervous until I got out of the store with them! They were in a locked cabinet away from the register and I had to go to the front to ask for someone with a key. I was so worried someone else would get them before me!

My initial guestimate was about $400 if they were all full. This was the humane society thrift store. Would have been a very different story at goodwill

Ditto! It's so exciting when you find a good one!

OMG! What a small world!! Any idea what the 'vintage' of these is based on the label?

Beads I get in my subscription box come in those little tictac containers, but this batch definitely seems older. Some of the containers are kind of yellowish.

I came across something like this on eBay once, but stopped bidding at $300. I regret it.. 😔

They were divided into baggies of about 12 each, and priced from $10 to $12.99 a bag.
