Thats our starters by far.

Sylvias right, there are different names for the beads in the US and in Germany. Treasure beads are a substitute for Miyuki Delicas, in Germany well known, in the US hard to find. Toho Triangles are available in 11 and 8 ( 2 and 3mm), Miyukis Triangles are more rounded and available in differnet sizes. But besides this please feel free to use your imagination. Just remember the colors, and bead on.
Here are the colors the beaders used:

Angela      Aqua, teal, blue, if you use brown as an accent than only dark brown.

Angelica   Black, Black matte, Jet

Anke        frosted black and frosted crystal, shiny black is also possible, no hematit etc.

Britta        white grey silver, no black, even when there is black in the Starter.

Dulcey     light grey ab, light matte blue, medium matte blue,  black and white is also possible

Inge         Orange and copper, if you use Swarovski, then please just Fireopal

Marylou  Brown and Beige colours, not bigger than 20mm

Renate     black and silver, no silverlined, not bigger than 16mm

Sylvia       lemon green, light and middle green turquoise and middle blue colours, matte and shiny, not to loud.

Tynchen   differnet violet or purle colours with grey or / and silver

Ulli          a greyish matt iris brown, for Toho is this 614, for Miyuki for example 2013 As an accent            nickelplated.

Ute          blue iris and matte blue iris. For Toho 82 and 82f, for miyuki kind of 452. As an accent a light blue, for example light sapphire or light Aqua.

Dulcey, as it is a surprise for every one, the beaded beads should not be posted before every beader got theirs. You surely can post the other Starters, if you want to, why not, it would be a wonderful PR for us. But if you post your progress, the others will know, what you are beading for them. At the end you surely can show every bead you did, I'm very pleased and the other will surely feel the same.


I will post the other colors as soon as the starters are there.
Regards
Angelica

TOHO bead abbreviations in German Usage

Hello non German speakers,

These are the meanings of the abbreviations associated with TOHO bead names in German stores:

TRD = Toho-Rund ( Rocailles-ähnlich) Round seed beads PLEASE specify 11/0 or 15/0
TTR= Treasure Rund ( Delika-ähnlich) ....da kommen aber erst noch neue Farben.
TTRIA = Triangel ( dreieckige Perlen)

to complicate matters more, Treasure beads are NOT round but cylindrical. And Treasure beads have been discountinued in the USA. Only Aikos are sold as a substitute for Delicas. And if you use triangles, PLEASE specify size. We have triangles in 8/0 10/0 and 11/0

Seeing this is an international swap, I hope we can be somewhat flexible about the exact brand of beads. TOHO beads are very hard to find in the USA. I hope Delicas and Miyuki beads can be accepted for this round robin.

VLG,

Sylvia

Meine Start-Perle

Meine Start Perle ist die Galaxy- Bead nach Gill Slone


Meine verwendeten Perlen sind :-TT 82F, -TR15-82, -DB 692, und 4mm Swaros in dark indigo.

Ich wünsche mir dazu Perlen die Überwiegend in dunkelblau, also in TT 82F oder 82 gehalten sind mit dem hellblauen DB 692 (MR1643) als Akzent.Die Perlen sollten nicht größer als 20mm sein.

Dulcey's starting bead

Here is my starting bead. The beads I used are:

• Delica 107 - light gray ab
• Delica 357 - very light matte blue
• Delica 377 - matte bright blue
• hematite charlottes
• 2mm jet Swarovski bicones

I would please like anything in a blue/black/gray/white combination that you think would look good with this bead. This was beaded over a 12mm wooden bead, with a finished size of about 15mm. Any bead smaller than about 18-20mm would be wonderful!

I have a couple of questions, since I am new to this. Is it okay for me to blog on my own blog about the beads that I make for you as I make them? My other question to each of you, is it also okay if I use your picture of your starting bead, giving you credit for your picture? I understand if you don't want me to do either one. Thanks!
