I love Czech beads! So many shape and color choices! I guess my fav is old school faceted rounds in any color. I add them to many of my designs!

What fun! Bugle beads are great in any size but my absolute fave Czech glass beads are leaves... I use them to weave the fairy magic into my jewelry :-)

I love working with bugle beads (although I haven't tried the long ones yet) & wish they were easier to find. My favorite bugles are the twisted ones, which give an extra element of texture to my jewelry.

You have come up with such beautiful & creative designs using the long bugles & you've inspired me to give them a try. I also like twin & super duos, fire polished, pressed glass, and so many others. I currently am putting together a shopping list of assorted bead shapes.

Your blog is always an inspiration & I look forward to each issue.

Awesome Earrings Pearl. I had some 30mm ruby twisted bugles that I used in some long necklaces. They sparkled and added a lot to the design. I think my favorite would be fire polished beads, but I love all beads.

Are there anything better than czech glass beads? Right now I'm crushing on textured etched/stone picasso finishes and matte bronze picasso. There's some utterly gorgeous finishes and coatings on czech beads -- and there seem to be new ones (or combos of old ones) all the time. Yum!

Those colours just pop! What fantastic shades.. just makes it hard to chose a favorite colour ;)

I think my favorite Czech bead style would have to be the flowers ( the bell, not the pressed),and I just feel like I could never have enough of them. I constantly want to use them in my designs, BUT if I did that then I'd run out and not have any >.< too sad to think of, so I hoard them ;) lol $50 would give me enough that I could give in to using them AND
hoarding them though ;)

My fav Czech are fire polished 3 and 4 mm, small and versatile. Lately I've been eyeing the Czech pressed glass buttons which are simply gorgeous. I guess they might not count as beads but beaders can use them to make amazing things.

I really do enjoy the Beading Gem's Journal!

My favorite Chec beads have got to be the faceted fire polish crystals! I typically use the 4mm variety, but go for a larger version when I want to make a bigger impact. I also love all of the various Picasso finishes that these beads come in - they really add an extra dimension to designs!
