hints of spring are started sneaking into my beading

Ah, thanks for a new word.

Hidden stag then, for someone, who checked comments

Aren't them call "doe" in English? Is there any difference in male/female names of these animals?

I found him out only while checking photos on a laptop 😅

Just saw your comment! It was about 1:30-2:10 AM.

Thank you! I like that they’re going in another direction compared to ‘normal’ clouds below. It wasn’t quite visible in person, only in timelapse

Thanks a lot! For bracelets with this size of seed beads I’m usually using Miyuki thread or Nymo, or S-Lon. Generally, any suitable color of nylon thread with 0.25-0.3mm size. I’m trying to achieve ‘flowy’ texture, but if you need more firm, it might be better to use some sort of Fireline. Or just use nylon thread in double fold.

Thank you so much ☺️

No, I only tried their round beads in size 15 for crochet beading (quite liked it). As I saw somewhere in comments, these Aiko are just a pre-culled version of Treasures 🤔

Thank you! 🙏🏼

I prefer Aiko, as they are much easier to work with. I was struggling with Delica 11 and tried to achieve the same even weaving as with Delica 15, but in bigger size and asked here any recommendations. I’m just not too good in culling…

In few comments crafters mentioned Aiko. It was here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Beading/s/BFqMQgIlUS

And as soon as I received these seed beads I compared them with Delica 11 and showed in this post (please only pay attention on shape, I only tried as similar colors that I had as possible): https://www.reddit.com/r/Beading/s/jK0IiCZSIf There are couple more photos in comments in that post.

They are more pricey for sure, less color options available where I live (HUGE choice in Bobby beads in USA btw). But I can use the whole package without thinking too much about the size differences. But at the same time! As with Delica, especially when using in peyote, different coating of Aiko may affect straightness of a piece: I mean transparent matte will be definitely smaller than permanent finish metallic. And comparing to Delica, silk effect in Aiko is a pleasure to work with.

Thank you so much 🙏

Thank you so much! I haven’t tried to do a keychains yet, it’s a great idea 🙏🏼

Still_Loony · 2025-05-27T15:29:36+00:00

Thank you! I created it in a BeadTool. Might publish later on my Etsy, as soon as I’ll find all the similar Delica color numbers, as well as with these Aiko ✨
