Never, in all my years of being a crafter, have I come across a single craft that has as many followers, or should I say addicted followers, as that of beading. Beads come in various shapes and sizes. Materials range from plastic to glass to bone to clay, even paper.
Finishes are as varied as the actual beads.
Until they have ventured into this addictive hobby themselves, they will never know. Beaders themselves are as varied as the beads. Some will work with different types, while some focus on only one or two kinds of beads. This is intended for seed bead lovers everywhere. This appears to be a very short list, but be warned, it is nearly impossible to just purchase a few beads.
