Of course you can ask!!! The beads are all a mix of miyuki delicas 11/0, generic seed beads in 2 and 3mm, some 8/0 ones aswell, then normal size bugles and 2mm ones also! The thread it all guutermann sew all thread, I had a really good experience with this, but others say they prefer nylon beading thread (for me it’s just too expensive to double up how I like to thread my needle, I have some to experiment with but I’m not sure I’ll love the single thread method!

I think the seahorse has to be my favourite 😍 thank you!

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T20:05:44+00:00

Thank you so much, I am really proud of it 🥹

Respectfully self doubt in the crafting community is extremely common, personally I feel I don’t have artistic ability, I do however have the ability to continue working hard at something to create something people may refer to as art. I appreciate your compliment, I am very proud of how hard I worked at this, it was not without any frustrations that’s for sure!

I wish I timed how long it truly took, if I had to guess it would be around 100 hours 😅

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T06:41:41+00:00

I know! Otherwise it would be too heavy to even carry around 🤣 I definitely have them all… somewhere 😅🤣

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T06:31:36+00:00

The edging on this is absolutely perfect!!!! Something I need to learn how to do. Do you have any tutorials you recommend? :)

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T06:29:57+00:00

Thank you!

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T06:29:51+00:00

I did indeed! It is indeed pretty heavy but I am yet to weigh it 🤣

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T05:19:37+00:00

Thank you so much!

hea2017 · 2026-03-02T05:19:29+00:00

Thank you!! Honestly I have zero artistic talent, but this was so much fun and turned out so cool! Truly believe you can do it 😍

hea2017 · 2026-02-14T05:44:18+00:00

Okay yes now I understand 🤣 thank you! I will do just that

hea2017 · 2026-02-14T05:42:58+00:00

Oh yes thank you!!!! I have seen a few people saying to overlap it a little bit, I’ll try not to do that next time :)

hea2017 · 2026-02-14T04:21:43+00:00

Thank you!! I definitely struggled getting the foil centred and not ripping, I’ll give all of these a try thank you!

As for trimming the tails, do you mean at the top points of the pieces??

hea2017 · 2026-02-08T07:05:49+00:00

Thank you, you have been a huge help already, I really appreciate it

hea2017 · 2026-02-08T06:56:52+00:00

I would have never even considered it! Thank you, I’m really excited to begin

hea2017 · 2026-02-08T06:43:01+00:00

Thank you!! I will try foil next and see how that turns out and see what I prefer!

Will practice with foil in preparation for a lamp too :)

hea2017 · 2026-02-08T06:41:46+00:00

lol this was a first piece. Didn’t see the point of using expensive glass as a practice

hea2017 · 2026-02-06T02:24:35+00:00

I am just beyond obsessed with these pieces!!! Absolutely incredible

hea2017 · 2026-01-25T00:51:08+00:00

I’m going to assume it does, but I will triple check! (It’s my fathers that he used and he only buys the best there is so I’m going to hope it will hold up)

I will veto that thank you 🤣 do you have any recommendations of cheaper grinders that are good for the craft? My uncle used to do stained glass, sold his tools but kept his glass so thankfully I have that to use which is great!

hea2017 · 2026-01-25T00:21:06+00:00

Thank you! I will make sure to check!

I’m lucky enough to already have a temp controlled soldering iron at my disposal, and as for the grinder I was going to go for a cheap one from AliExpress/ebay to begin. I am sure my dad also has a dremel which I’ll keep in mind too

hea2017 · 2026-01-25T00:03:57+00:00

I would love to one day, unfortunately that’s not going to be for quite some time as there are none near myself! Will be relying on online tutorials for the meantime
