Great information Waggler, thank you very much. That little strand you are pointing to is what I always look for when I see beads for sale at a 'vous.

That's a great collection.

Haven't thought about beads for a long time. I remember getting off an international flight in Seattle, in 1990, carrying a backpack with 70 pounds of beads. Wish I still had all of those.

That had to be quite the backpack of beads.

Got the main beadwork pattern finished up on the body. Still debating if I do any beadwork on the flap.

K snow, what does a bag like that usually sell for?

I start em at 200, and go up depending on complexity of beadwork and colors used.

Ksnow I always enjoy seeing your projects. Thanks for sharing.
