And clasps, because I never buy findings as it's less fun that looking at beads. And...<br /><br />Two-hole beads are really fun and personally I often prefer the shape of Twin/SuperDuo to Tila and CzechMate Tiles. They're just so versatile and beautiful. Not to mention they come in gorgeous colours and finishes!<br /><br />The article is a very nice into to the beads and points out the main differences that beaders should be aware of. To complicate things further, though, I just have to add that Preciosa Ornela are now also doing a pressed-glass version of their two-hole bead, Twin Pressed Bead. And there's some sort of SuperDuo copy too.<br /><br /><br />Have I made something myself? Actually it's mostly been samples and simple designs. If curious, all my 2-hole bead designs can be found here: <a href="http://wildrosesandblackberries.blogspot.se/search/label/2-hole%20beads" rel="nofollow">http://wildrosesandblackberries.blogspot.se/search/label/2-hole%20beads </a> Maybe someone will find something inspirations among all those experiments?
