Hoping somebody knows a good source that isn't Shipwreck, Fire Mountain,
or Rio Grande. Have just been inventorying my beads and looking at the
web pages and so many of the beads I want are not available.
I use smooth round glass beads, 6mm, 4mm, 3mm. They decorate the
handmade ear wire on my dangle earrings and I want the glass to match the
glass of the earring!
Shipwreck Beads: great beads, consistent size, hole size, etc. Few reject=
s.
But assortment keeps diminishing.
Fire Mountain Beads: cheap, weird sizes, inconsistent holes, lots of rejec=
ts.
Rio Grande: great beads, prices not bad, small assortment available.

Hi Eleanora,
Try Prairie Edge in rapid city - lots of beads - there may be another
Prairie Edge somewhere else as well.

Hi Eleanora:
I'm not sure they will have what you want but
http://www.chevronbeads.com/store.html is a really nice store in Ashevill=

e,
NC. I've never ordered from their website but have visited their showroo=
=3D
m
several times and always was impressed by their quality and overall
"realness." There's lots of arts/crafts activity in the Asheville area s=
=3D

I'm guessing they have a demanding audience to satisfy.
Good luck,
Fred Parker
