Ooohhh la, la...

These yummy beads from SimplyBeads.com just arrived in my mailbox! It's a nice selection of glass pearls and daggers. Small dagger beads (3mm x 10mm) are rather difficult to find these days. Most bead sellers have a plethora of larger daggers (5mm x 16mm and up) but few seem to be stocking the smaller size, which I prefer.  The 3mm x 10mm are used in my "Shell and Spines" cuff design so whenever I find petite daggers, I snap them up! If you've found a good source for dagger beads in this smaller size, please share! I'm running low on the colors that I used in my prototype cuff (shown below), but the colors I've just received are so delicious, I'm tempted to do another cuff in a different colourway!
