I've made tons of 'em - and used the browner, odd lot version of "Ocher". It's not easy to find as I believe this specific color isn't being made anymore.

If you can wait a few days to start though, I can offer you about 5-6 rods from my private stash. Here's what my Gingie Beads generally look like - this example is done on a 3/16" mandrel so it's a BHB too!





Let me know...

Thanks Kayrein97 and Wendy! Silly, aren't they!

Elizabeth, I think you've nailed it and the Reich Caramel is a perfect color too! I remembered there was a new "caramel" out there, but couldn't remember the maker! http://www.dichroicimagery.com/produ...8d7b691eebfc84

Hope she's found something that works!

I use an old lot of brown 444 that is lighter than the red-brown version of 444, but a bit darker than ocher. My mom used the stronger molasses so her gingerbread men were darker.
