Hi Andrew,
ReplyDeleteThe beads are beautiful, when I visited Auntie's Beads I thought something was wrong with my computer. Her lampwork beads are so affordable. The natural beads were really neat too. I wonder how you use those glue in forms?

Their pendants and charms and beads are awesome. Love that you can buy what you need. And I have a strand of turquoise mosaic magnesite that I love from them. Thanks for sharing Andrew! Someone will be lucky indeed! Enjoy the day!

I went to Auntie's site, was most excited about the czech glass beads and the lampwork beads. But I love the beads in the give-away best.

Haven't bought anything from their web site but have watched some of their great tutorials. Would love to try some of their beads.

I have used Aunties for a number of years now. Their service is great and their products are always good with fair prices. I also always recommend Aunties to my students.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say the design and techniques page is my fave "product" but that doesn't count I'm sure. So if I have to pick one item it would be the czech glass as I use quite a bit of it myself.
Since it's still summer... I like the sea glass beads.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started beading I ordered from Aunties Beads!
ReplyDeleteRight now I am doing a lot of pieces in copper and I like these Antique Copper Plated Pewter Leaf Finding With Loops, 25x42mm, item id:8550 !
