Hi Kandice,

On the sample beads pictured what did you use for the silver dots and stringer? Is it double helix?

Thanks!

Erik

Beautiful beads Kandice. This color reminds me of the rod form of the Lauscha wedgewood blue I got a few months ago. Except that wedgewood strikes to a lighter color similar to french blue.

Wow, what a gorgeous blue! Can I get the same from lapis blue, you think?

I love your posts and there is interest as you can tell by the viewers. All your beads are stunning as well. Post is not boring, and I get a lot out of them and it also influences what CIM colors I purchase.

The post is of interest to me & I appreciate the information. Once I have the color to try I'll probably have questions or comments.

As always, Kandice, I appreciate your reviews and samplings!

Oooh…and opal lapis/cobalt-ish blue. Love it, even though the camera hates it!

It's going to be so much prettier than the Electric Blue I have been using.

Gimme, gimme!

Thank you for doing these color reviews. I find them very helpful, though I have never commented before. I am sorry about that, it is just that I am more of a reader than a typer.

I didnt reply but was interested in your post as I just purchased a 1/4 pound so I was anxious to see what someone else thought. I havent used it yet - just like the color based on pics and I found your comments extremely helpful....
