Beautiful seed bead

I have fallen in love with a new (to me) seed bead. It is Toho 2204, raspberry lined olivine. I saw it today and bought it in a 15, 11, and 8. The olivine is a matt finish and the raspberry looks like an opaque finish. It's so fun to find new treasures!

  3. I found the beads at a LBS, Stony Creek Beads, 734-544-0904. They do not have a website. It is a family store - Jenn is the owner, her mother Sue and sister Kate work there and they are all nice and helpful. If you can't find the bead (Toho 2204) locally or have a store order for you, I will send some to you. Susan

  4. Thanks, Susan --


    Will ask my usual Toho bead vendor if they carry this bead first. I feel an adventure coming on . . .

  6. I bought some about a month ago at Bobby Beads. http://www.bobbybead.com/

    Haven't done anything with them yet, but they're in the queue. I only got the 11s.

    They are even more gorgeous in person.
