Author and beading enthusiast Lisa Ann Claver suggests using Miyuki Delicas or Toho Aikos brand beads, but says you can substitute a standard 11-inch seed bead in her designs--the only thing to keep in mind is that the final design might be longer and narrower when not using a standard cylinder bead. For best results, she recommends against using a standard craft bead. Craft beads tend to be uneven and can result in inconsistent beadwork. These gorgeous projects will excite and inspire you to create more elaborate and beautiful bead projects than you've ever made before. Don't wait. Get beading
