New This Week!

Show us your Mettle!

Or, more precisely - allow us to show you ours! Because if you didn't get enough metal beads last week - we have more! And if you did - well - please explain the concept of "have enough beads" to us - because we don't get it. You can't be too rich or have too many beads. Or too much chocolate. Or wine.

Annnnyway - I'm getting sidetracked here. This week, we have some absolutely lovely linking elements flowers and leaves - we call them the Nosy Posy collection - and they have little extra curlicues and stuff that you can hang extra bits off, or not, as you see fit!

And, we have them in an enticing array of colours, including:

• Antiqued Silver


• Brass and Antiqued Brass


• and Antiqued Copper

You can whip up some earrings, or link the links into a necklace or bracelet. You can stick with one style or mix and match!

If you'd rather divide and conquer than join together - or, if you're looking for separators instead of links ... ;-) - Check out these in 3-hole and 5-hole. Also available in many metals:

• Bright Copper and Antiqued Copper


• Bright Brass and Antiqued Brass


• Antiqued Silver and Silver-Plated (Bright and Shiny)


• Gunmetal, and even


• Sterling Silver

This week's project is a cool way to use the 3-hole separators. Just 'cuz they have 3 holes - doesn't mean you have to use them all!

Need some big chain with big links? Nice big links, and we have individual links of the hole and post variety, so that you can seamlessly join these up!

Again, you have a choice of:

• Antiqued Silver


• Bright Copper


• Antiqued Brass, and


• Gunmetal

But Wait! That's not all! We have cool new cones, bead caps, and yes, even beads!

So check out the metal beads and findings sections for all the cool new stuff. Because - with this weather, staying inside in air conditioning and beading looks like a mighty fine option!

You can click on a link or a picture above, or start with the Main Page, if you feeling intrepid, (there is a LOT of stuff there), or chunk it down into bite-size portions by checking out the categories: Click on a link and go crazy! Firepolish, Pressed Glass, Swarovski Crystal, Seedbeads, Stone and Pearls, Preciosa Crystal, Metal Beads, Other Cool Beads, Findings, Metal Clay & Supplies or Books, Kits, Tools. Look for the "new" tags!

Or maybe check out all our free, yes, free projects. A new one every week.
