I love Czech beads! (: My favorites are the tried and true fire polish because they are so versatile. But I just ordered some super duos and I'm excited to use them in some bead weaving. I think the little hourglass ones have great potential too!
I'm also a blog follower, and I'm off to give this post a shout out.

Wow! I would love to win them. With so many new kinds of beads coming out and being on a budget, i don't get to try them out as much as I'd like. I love the super duos but theses looks so cool and sleek. Patty Estes shuga217@gmail.com
Thank you for the opportunity to win such a wonderful prize. I am anxious to try the piggy beads! Honestly, I don't have a favorite bead...I love them all! You can tell with a walk through my Etsy store.
This is a wonderful giveaway!!!! I love superduo beads the best but would love to have a go at the piggy beads. I am a japanese seed bead user but would love to incorporate some czech into my designs!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!!

I like pressed and lampwork beads the most, but I actually use fire-polished faceted beads more, especially in metallic colors.

I am a blog subscriber. Thank you for this giveaway !
So far, the only shaped beads I've used are SuperDuo/Twin & Tilas, but high up on my "to-do" list is exploring the possibilities with other shapes (pellets, lentils, spikes, piggies, etc.). There are so many ways they can be used, so there are no limits to the jewelry I can create from this wonderful giveaway. I live in France & am always happy to see giveaways that are international. :-)
I'm a big fan of the fire polished Czech beads I use them in just about everything I make. These pellet beads look interesting and it would be fun to include them into my projects. Thanks for the contest. Bead on :)
What cool new beads and a terrific idea. I'll have to check out the company. My favorite Czech beads are large Picasso's. I'm sharing on my blog and on fb. I'm a blog subscriber. Thx!
What fun little beads those are with the 'waist' to them Pearl! I love when companies come up with beads that are different shapes. It makes us use our brains more!
Now that I've seen those beautiful coppery ones I'm off to design something with those in mind!
Oh! Put me down anyway for the giveway Pearl! ;0)

Would love to win this. I'm a follower of your blog.
I'm still at the beginning of my beading journey and I don't have a favourite. I've used Czech fire-polished and seed beads but would love to try some of the "newer" shapes.
I love Czech beads! Especially spikes, fire polish and super duo with the Picasso finish and the matte metallic finish. Thank you! I subscribe to your lovely blog and am sharing this on the Facebook xxx Jandmmarshall (at) aol (dot) com
I really like the square ones that have a cathedral look to them and the twin beads. I can't remember the names, but they are pricey. I use the rondelle, bicone, and round all the time. Here's to praying I win this one.
I love Czech glass and use it all the time in my designs. My favourites are the table cut beads and faceted crystals but I love them all.

Love czech beads! If I had the money I'd love to take the train down there sometime (though I doubt they'd let me into the factories I'd want to visit just like that...).
As for my favourite czech bead, it varies all the time. Right now I'm having a crush on swallow coin beads, stone finish pressed beads (the textured/lava-look ones) and chunky english cut beads. Czech glass beads are dangerously addictive!!!
Czech beads have such a large variety of shapes, colors and finishes, that makes it extremely difficult to choose a favorite. At this time I like experimenting with double hole beads. Thank you for this giveaway!
I ♥ the tablecuts SO much. I follow blog and on facebook!Hope I win..good luck everyone

You're awesome too!! Giving us all these great giveaways! pick me pick me! :) My favorites are the lowly seed beads, simply because I do alot of bead embroidery. But I do like to experiment, so I would have to say of the new beads, these pellet beads are really cute and I've seen some great designs with them. Thanks!

The Czech bead manufacturing industry has a long history and reputation for innovative beads. Best Beads is a Czech based retail and wholesale bead supplier which exports products from not just Preciosa Ornela - perhaps the best known Czech company - but also others.
[Image]
Red Button Macrame Bracelet with Pellet Beads
Ekaterina Pushkareva, the CEO of Best Beads says they "collaborate with G and B Beads, International Glass, Coralex Beads, PAS Jablonec, Lampglass and Matura Beads. Unfortunately they aren't so famous brends as Preciosa is. For example, Coralex Beads specializes in table cut beads and we buy those beads only at this company. Matura Beads is known as the Super Duo and lentil beads producer. G and B Beads offers various beads shapes, but most famous are piggy." Please see my past post on piggy bead designs.
Ekaterina added, "You know, there are huge number of manufacturers in Jablonec nad Nisou. Sometimes I have a feeling, that beads are produced in every house in this city :)" One new product in Best Beads are the pellet beads. Best Beads sent me some samples for review and asked what I can do with them. They look like tiny drums to me as they have nipped in waists! The picture below shows their relative size to 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads.
[Image]
Unusually shaped beads are fun to work especially if you can exploit their shapes. As these beads have waists, I realized round beads could sit very close to them with almost no gaps.
[Image]
As you can see from my pellet bead fringe earrings, these beads do spin around to present different profiles. I made the wire support oval rather than round so the fringe flares out, curving in places and showcases these pellet beads.
[Image]
Pellet Bead Fringe Earrings
I also used their ability to butt closely with other round beads in the next design - a wrapped cord and button bracelet. Most people use the same size bead all the way around. I had fun making a much more relaxed version.
[Image]
A second advantage of pellet beads is to use those "waists" as channels. I created grouped components each of which involved 2 pellet beads and 2 6/0 seed beads. The outside linen cords I used in this simple square knotted bracelet with button closure sat in the channels :
[Image]
Linen cord macrame bracelet - no tightening
As these outside linen cords can slip out of the channels, I tightened the components by wrapping with some contrast red thread between the seed and pellet beads as you can see from the final design. This bracelet is available in my shop - 100% of net proceeds will go to cancer research.
[Image][Image]
I am sure there are more creative ways to utilize these pellet beads! Maybe you can think of others?

Thank you so much Pearl for your wonderful blog and inspiration! I am really going crazy right now with superduos and firepolish rounds together in bracelets. With the choices of colors and finishes you can come up with hundreds of possible patterns it can boggle the mind! The giveaway beads will add to my madness :)

You're awesome too!! Giving us all these great giveaways! pick me pick me! :) My favorites are the lowly seed beads, simply because I do alot of bead embroidery. But I do like to experiment, so I would have to say of the new beads, these pellet beads are really cute and I've seen some great designs with them. Thanks!

Wow, what a great giveaway. It would indeed be appropriate for me to win it since I was born in the Czech republic. I love the fire polished beads. Jana

Czech beads are the first type of beads that I used for my chainamille projects.
I love the drops and bicones, and fire polish beads. Also love AB effect.
