Well, Artbeads is having yet another sale and this time it's Toho beads. I've been learning brick stitch and using Delicas. Do the Treasures fit the same as Delicas? (I'm still waiting on sunny weather to take pics and for the stitches on several areas on my head to heal so I can pull on something tighter than pjs. Caroline, you are so patient!) I got the urge for beaded earrings with fringe and then ordered a couple of patterns from Etsy; didn't get around to charting my own.

I remember reading in several posts that Toho Treasures have the same high uniformity as Delicas, but I only used Toho seed beads myself once because I needed a special color combination I couldn't find in Miyuki beads at that time, so I have never tried it myself.
Did you buy anything?

Cat, I decided to not buy these. I think they may be a bit more expensive than Delicas; they come in 2.5" tubes so this may be actually cheaper. So, off to Etsy and I bought two patterns, earrings and a bracelet, so I could use the beads I already have.

I want to see pictures when you're done or if you are done already!  |

Tohos and Delica beads are slightly different sizes. You can use either for all the stitches but don't mix them together. x

I am a complete ignoramus where beads are concerned. Going to look up Artbeads. Hoping to learn something new to me!
