Bead Sale!
We are celebrating the month of October with our annual bead sale!*
(its 20% off and it only happens once a year...so take advantage now)

* Bead sale includes Czech and Italian glass beads, with the exception of our collection of vintage Italians and contemporary beads. Discount not offered for bulk Czech beads (kilo and half kilogram sizes).

I realize you posted this Wednesday, but I didn't find a sale page, (even searched for one) and even the search beads comes up with premade items (gorgeous premade items but premade nontheless). Yes it was all listed on the left side bar. Not to knock your supplier but a better organized site would make it much nicer.

You have to click in the top left box where it says "Click Here". Then go down the middle of the page under the medallion pic and click on Italian glass beads. Or, you can go directly to the link: BEADS

Dayum & they still don't have the 16/0 in forest or pine green shading that I'm looking for...

Beetlemess, if the Crazy Crow Czech 16/0 color #218 is not dark enough have you checked this site?

empyreanbeads.com

They have a Transparent Dark Pine in 16/0 and a TR Forest Green Luster in a 15/16 mix

They also have a Transparent Dark Olive, but it's an 18/0
Hope this helps in some way. I'll post if I stumble on any other sources.

Beetle, the smallest I can find in forest green are 18/0 at ETSY. the link is:

=tags]Antique Forest Green 18/0 38 beads per inch

or:

=tags]Matte Forest Green about 32 beads per inch

16/0 are antiques and as far as I know are not being made anymore - I may be wrong about that. Have you checked ShipWreck beads? They are online.

The Czech size 16/0 is about the same as the Japanese 15/0.

Did I hear "bead" and "sale"??!! Two of my favorite words! Have ya'll tried Shipwreck beads? I have bought tiny beads there before.

Looks like the matte forest green might work... 32/inch puts it at about 16/o. It's hard to match colors of my military medals & ribbons when I plan to work with the smaller beads. I'm trying to match a pine/forest/olive green and have resorted to having a couple other shades be a bit off...

Thanks, Phyllis. Let me follow up on these. With winter coming & possibly seeing more time in front of the fireplace/boob-tube at night, maybe I'll get going on the project to finally add to my ribbon shirt,

You are welcome, Beetle. I hope it works for you. Keep us updated on the ribbon shirt project.

With winter coming up, I too, will be working on beading projects. Finishing my pipe bag is priority one. Then medicine bags and dreamcatchers.
