Delica's

I finally got hold of some and ive done a little square of even count peyote and it looks and feels sooooooooo lush! The beads sit together so nicely and make your work look so much neater and feel smoother Drool

I have been kicking myself up the rear for most of the afternoon for not getting them sooner!

Need more... Must get more... So i can do a long awaiting project in my to do pile, an amulet bag!

Ooh have you tried DOUBLE delicas? (the size of 4 delicas in a square ...eh??) Theyre just as lush but quicker cos theyre bigger!
I love using delicas as theyre so nice to `twiddle`round your fingers when theyre worked Embarassed

...oh stop me!! Very Happy

Quite simply cos i didnt order enough of the lovely little beadies to complete my 'mini' amulet bag Laughing

stupid so and so that i am!

Grrr have to order more, then wait for them to arrive, gosh im going to be in torment with all that waiting Crying

But i promise i will put a pic up of my attempt (unless it totally sucks lol) in latest creations when it is finally completed.

Delicas are yummy and do sit together wonderfully, but I'm a bit odd, I like the more `handmade' look sometimes too. Delica's can be too uniform for some projects - too perfect
