Beautiful creations, and website. I’m hoping you can recommend a place to get great beads w the right size holes. I’d love some semi precious stones. Thank you!

Hi Lisa – I am currently getting ready to put beads and pendants on my store – the majority will be metal beads: tibetain silver, copper and brass and semi-precious pendant beads. Semi-precious beads come with tiny holes and would have to reamed so much that I am not sure it is doable- maybe for 1mm to 1.5 mm cord. I am still looking for a supplier though and have high hopes I will find one. I use a work-round when I want to use a bead, but it is for focals mostly. I mount them on silver wire first creating loops at each end in order to be able to string them. Another trick is to wrap a piece of tape around your cord end really tight and make a point with the extra tape like a needle. Once that is through the bead, you pull with pliers and the cord comes through. It is hard work but well worth the effort! I will let you know as soon as I have found some with big holes (if they exist!)
Thanks for your interest in my blog!

I’m interested in finding the cord tassels, any advice?

Unfortunately, the tassels are only available on Korean sites… such as G_market. if you manage to translate the page with Google, it is doable. Good luck 🙂
