    okie, I need beads. my dreads are looking boring since I took some wraps out. They were pissing me off, taking so long to dry after washing :toetap05: since my dreads are kind of thin I'd need the claw ones, anyone know good sites to get theeeez? muchos gracias jajaja

    www.hummblebee.com she makes the bestest glass beads.

    The best place I've gotten beads though is from other people. I don't put beads in my hair unless they hold some type of significance but thats just me. If you weren't in Dublin I might send you a peyote stitch or something but I'm really bad about actually getting things out to people and hte fact that your overseas would make it even worse... :D

    You can try to make some yourself, or go to a bead/craft store and see what you can find!

    Here is a neat tutorial I found recently, I am going to try soon:

    http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://marciglenn.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/6-rolled-felt-bead-small.jpg&imgrefurl=http://marciglenn.wordpress.com/2009/02/08/playtime-rolled-felted-beads-tutorial/&usg=__XoYFwJvX3eJsC8U0gVBX0u6oIK0=&h=1036&w=1300&sz=157&hl=en&start=17&um=1&tbnid=O03YOVpTmc0h6M:&tbnh=120&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dneedle%2Bfelted%2Bbead%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1


    Always make clay beads, or learn peyote which is really not hard :)

    But what are those clutch type beads called? I can't find any online, and I want some of those. They are metal and I think SmellyD had them in her hair. :confused:

    i know this might sound funny, but i got bored with regular beads, so for a change, i use stainless steel nuts occasionally.. just be carefull shakin your head around, might get a black eye, or busted lip..
