Rayon 3 yd packs:
Rayon is a semi-natural fiber - it is essentially re-processed cotton. Our rayon braid has
more sheen and the colors available are a more muted palette. Polyester is an entirely
synthetic fiber. It takes color beautifully so, our polyester braid is available in brighter colors.
The sheen is slightly duller than that of the rayon. Please note the entire line of BeadSmith
Soutache was designed by a textile jewelry artist for textile jewelry artist so tremendous
attention was paid to consistency of width, thickness and drape so, the rayon and polyester
braid can be used together successfully.

From Last Time:
Super Duo ( didn't have time to get them on the site yet.. sorry!)
Super Duo Beads are a Czech made, glass Two Hole Seed bead. Similar in shape to the Twin bead, but with a few
very important differences. Super Duos are a pressed glass bead with guaranteed size and dimensional stability.
They measure 2.5x5mm, with two .8mm holes . They are not simply ""coated crystal"" but actual colored glass with
many coating options: Transparent, Opaque, Matte, Color Lined, Picasso, Luster, AB Coating & Magic Line. 24 gram
tubes
I really like these and will be adding colors as soon as I can! These colors are for the great piece in the

I am not a huge fan of Czech beads but I adore these! The finish has a gorgeous satiny,
silky sheen and they are uniform in shape. The prices will be going up as I replace colors. AND the colors have been discontinued. They will still make the metallics. Get them while you
can @ $4.. all will be going to $5.50

I found 2 Bead Buddy Dual Lapdesk $28 each. These are no longer being produced.. you get a flocked
work surface and flocked design board on top of a nice bean bag type pillow that can rest on your lap. It's
convenient and portable and also comes with a bonus bead mat. ONLY 2!
See Here: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/571163
Just want to say I am more than happy to special order anything I can. I got in the
Soutache for a friend and I can get the Super Duo, Rizo, Spikes, Rivets and many more things.
I don't have room to carry the full lines of some of these beads but I will gladly get in the colors
you want. Normally I can get the products within 3-4 days.. so please don't hesitate to ask!
IN STOCK NOW! I have White Tiger kits from Lisa Ring.. $50 ea I have 3 in stock.
Spectacular aqua eyes gaze from a face of pearl white, matte black, and subtle grays. Features sculptured
ears and head. Kit includes Czech fire-polished beads in black, gray, matte white and clear AB. Triangles,
charlottes and matte white daggers "purrrfectly" complement this classic design.

Lisa has also agreed to make kits up if anyone wants something from the site. She will be
using up what bead stock she has so supplies are limited. Please drop me a line and let me
know if you would like to order a kit. Get them while they last! And they will be a little cheaper
than the prices you see on the site believe it or not!
I have ONE EZ Bracelet Sizer in METRIC.. these are no longer being made. $9. It measures
from 10 CM to 32 CM for an ankle bracelet. Ships flat and goes together easily.
11/0 F23i G/L Dark Lavender $3 Very pretty purple.. I have about 15 tubes left.

Predicting the Future!
I have ordered some 10MM glass pearls for a project in one of the magazines. I will
have about a dozen new colors in for you soon! I am going to order more colors in the
Czech mates since we are having a class with those. I should have a new book and
some new closeout items for you next month! Stay tuned.

Sumpthin to ponder on:
"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above
all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that
this thing must be attained."
