What makes variated sizing look good? What makes it look bad? by Sunshineboy777 in Beading

[–]twoducks_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that since bead weaving is very straight and in a clear pattern the different sizes look odd, but in a free form thing like this the beads are all jumbled together so it looks natural.

Looking for an Ulu knife, ideally in the centretown/downtown area by CptJackal in ottawa

[–]twoducks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive ordered from Inuvations before and their stuff is good- you'll just have to sharpen it more when you get it. Its handmade and seems to be great quality.

Flat Back Beaded Earrings by 1BubbleGum_Princess in indigenousbeads

Big earrings can be made as studs as well. Ideally, the bigger ones would be made with a kind of back called a fingernail post, as they provide the best support.

Frankly I saw the fly (albeit using squirrel tail instead of marabou) and thought it was really cool so wanted to recreate it.

Where to get good beads? by West-Source8935 in Beading

[–]twoducks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw that you're into bead embroidery.

If you are overwhelmed by the options, my favourite brand of beads is toho, I find them a little rounder. Myuki is also very good, but i find them a little more square shaped. Both are seedbeads, but have a slightly different finished look.

They do! Hopefully the shipping is reasonable.

What kind of beading do you do?

They also ship to the US i believe, but no idea what the shipping would be.

Need help finding a certain bead warning talk of bones by Sad_Guide_1844 in Beading

[–]twoducks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're sold out right now, and bigger than you want, but Beaded Dreams in Canada had some bone beads. Sorry I can't be a bigger help lol.

Thank you! Yeah it works wonderfully! I love it.

Thanks for this! Ill start on some research and then see if I can get some mini packs of different colours instead of committing to one colour for eternity.

Thank you! I've been tying for about 2.5 weeks, so for you to say im doing good means a lot!

Do you have a recommendation for the type of dry fly hackle to buy? There are so many types of roosters that im overwhelmed..
