Beads for spinners

Robert · 11-14-2001, 10:57 PM

I was wondering if anyone knows where to get fire polished chechz(sp) faceted beads and or fiber optic beads? The first bead has a one normal color and a really shiny other side with several different colors. The fiber optic beads are colored darker on the ends and lighter in the middle, tehy are supposed to let a lot of light through. I have seen them on the internet but would rather not buy them online. The beads look really cool and will make some nice spinners. :grin:

Thanks Robert :smile:

The aurora borealis faceted and fiber optic beads are carried by all the bead/craft shops in the Portland-Vancouver area, as are the Austrian faceted crystal beads like those made by Swarovski and others. They make up into incredible spinners.

Thumper could you please be a little more specific? Like the name of a store of two that has them. I have been to lots of bead and craft shops but never seen any. Thanks Robert

I've purchased these products at Dava Bead in Portland on Capitol Hwy (503-246-1934) and at Bead City in Vancouver near I-205 (360-253-2256). Just call around .... many other shops sell them as well.

I have found the glass beads. Thanks for the information. Does anyone know where to get plastic beads that look like fire polished glass beads, around Portland? I got some at the show, of course they are a long way from Portland.

Thanks Robert
