Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Unique, Ease of Use, Quality, Color
Cons: would like a larger package
Creation: Single-strand necklace w/rose quartz focal
"The balance of the materials and of the colors in this mix was perfect. It has just the right amount of sparkle to offset the sterling silver findings I used with it. I have tried making mixes like this myself but was never able to achieve this "professional" look and feel. I made a single strand chain with a rose quartz focal attached, and even though it was one of the simplest made (and inexpensive to make) necklaces it looked expensive and professional and will therefore will demand a higher selling price."

Pros: Versatile, Ease of Use
Cons: Size
Other beading styles or techniques: seed beads, quilting, love the fringes!
Creation: necklace
"When I opened the package I was really pleased with the assortment, I grabbed my magazines and used single motifs from the January 2011 issue of Beadwork (p. 18) to make the flowers for this necklace. I wasn't sure how to string them together, but I found that overlapping the motifs and attaching them by stitching through the bigger seed beads resulted in a beatiful curve and drape.
The package also included some silver bugles and silver lined triangular seeds, which I did not incorporate into this project.
My only peeve is that the matte pink beads were not perfectly uniform in size.
I also incorporated AB seeds from my stash, cracked crystal look druk beads and tila beads. It was the first time I used Silamide, that material really works well for seed bead motifs.
I got alot of compliments on this today! :)

Didn't like much

Cons: Price, Ease of Use
Other beading styles or techniques: stringing
"The choice of pieces were simply not acceptable. Too much of tube pieces, not a wide use for this item period. The pretty pink opaque pieces, too few. Will have to buy more items to use. Not good marketing strategy."
