Those jet magenta twin beads must be my favourite, they just look so yummy! Oh, now I really want to win as it includes that colour. Thanks for the chance to add to my (slightly overflowing) seed bead stash! :D
ReplyDeleteViolet Lined 11/0 (2.1mm) Preciosa Rocaille Seed Beads, I am on the lookout for beads I feel will help me in making jewelry with the 2014 color of the year, Radiant Orchid. I think this color will work very well in doing this. I do a lot of bead embroidery work and this size 11 is essential. Thanks for the chance to win beads. Carolyn Turner, gitksanfire@yahoo.com

I haven't tried these beads yet, so all the colors are my favorites! I do like the jet violets very well, though! I'd love to be entered into this drawing!
ReplyDeletetpatterson1961@gmail.com
Thanks!
I loved the red metallic SuperDuos and the rainbow violet rocaille seed beeds. All the beads are beautiful and the prices seemed really good too.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen that site prior to your post I love the selection of rocailles. I love all the colors, but am favoring those deep browns.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun browse, and a very difficult choice. Violet and Silver Lined 9/0 (2.6mm) Preciosa Rocaille Seed Beads, are my favorite. Thank-you so much for the give-away!

I find myself drawn to their neon green twins. Not a color palate I usually work with, but I keep gravitating toward them :) Maybe I am longing for spring.
ReplyDeleteabigailmyer@yahoo.com
These are so pretty. I love these colors they would look great in a color block piece.
ReplyDeletebrideadorner @ g mail. com
I love all twins and all colors!!! I am so glad to see you looking at them since I am finally getting back into the blogging world. These are stunning color choices for sure!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I found you tonight but I cannot believe your beautiful beads and patterns. I have dabbled in bead weaving some years ago but am now itching to get back into it. Wow! I love all your beads - so many colors, and I've never seen double hole beads before - neat!
ReplyDeleteI could not find a favorite color - I kept changing my mind the further down the page I went. All so beautiful. I go for the brighter colors tho the pastels and neutrals are lovely too. Too much to choose from. So glad I found you.

ReplyDeleteIm so happy I ran across this giveaway on pinterest.
I so hope to win as I've never seen or worked with twins and this color combo is awesome.
y.b.beading@gmail.com
Thanks again, love your blog!
Magenta has always been my favorite color and that would always be the first color I would use in the big box of crayons when I was a child. I am intrigued by the magenta jet twin beads on the Best Beads website. Thanks for the chance to try out twin beads. I hope you have a wonderful day!

My favorite is the Gold Beige which I think would be a nice soft neutral to pair with more exciting color combos. Kathleen at kmearles@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI love the twins in metallic dark red!
ReplyDeleteThe scarlet twin beads are my favorite for sure. I do not have any twin beads yet, but cannot wait until I do have some! I love pink. :) Love your blog, btw!
ReplyDeleteThis is not fair. I love all their beads, The newly added Red with Black and White Lines Top-drilled Drops Pressed Beads are fantastic, and I love the new pellet beads. I'm sorry, but I just can't pick a favorite. popspet@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteSo many beauties! I almost got lost looking at all of them. My favorite is the lack, White, Blue Waves with Aventurine Handmade Flat Circle Lampwork Beaet. They are so unique.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway offer!

ReplyDeletelabpriestess@yahoo.com
ooo so many new beads coming out that I cant afford!! I like the new donut rondelles in copper. ou812amp@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love the farfalle beads. They are so fat and cute.
ReplyDeleteJudy
My favorites are the jet magenta twins. I love working with the two holed beads, there are so many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the twisted ovals in ivory. They are very rich looking and can be used in many different designs and colors. Its hard to pick just one thing. Beads, beads and more beads. Do we ever really have enough?
ReplyDeleteThese are my favorite-25g (approx 430pcs) Copper, Magenta and Grey 5x2.5mm Preciosa Twin Seed Beads. I just purchased several colors but now I can't decide what project to start with. Good problem, right?
ReplyDeleteThere were so many to choose from I finally did a search for my favorite "green" and found a beautiful Iris green 10/0 rocaille. Another result was a yellow with green and red stripes that I would just love to find out what they want to be. Also while browsing around in the tablecut area I saw some picaso I would drool over in my horde ( not the stash).
ReplyDeleteMy favourites are Sherry Red Natural Opaque 9/0 Preciosa Rocaille Seed Beads. Beautiful lush colour, not too bright and good size.
ReplyDeleteAre those Cyan and Olive Twins at the giveaway set new colours, look good, havent seen those green shades at my local web shops. You can never have too much green seed beads!
I'm normally a purple and green girl (love the prize beads!) but for some reason I kept being drawn to the Neon Pink 5x2.5mm Duet Seed Beads. I shouldn't be too surprised, though - I am a real 80s girl after all ;)
ReplyDeleteviggybaby@gmail.com
The gold beige twin beads and the copper twin beads in addition to anything purple!
ReplyDeleteI'm a violet and orange type of "girl" so I choose the violet metalic as my favorite twin beads! I have just started working with them the " twins" and I love the versatility.
ReplyDeleteI love the new twin beads and especially like the metallic and Picasso finished ones
ReplyDeleteI'm loving working with the super duo's right now. Love the grungy vintage feel of the Picasso finished beads in any color. Thanks for chance to win some beads.
ReplyDeleteYummmm... Twin beads! I love the Jet Cyan beads. Anything Picasso finish as well.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite seed bead are the Jet Magenta Twins. Thank you for this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThe range is very wide. In my opinion they are all very beautiful, I really like the twin in shades of gold and also very beautiful the greens. My favorites are the twin gold beige, which look like little candies with honey and the copper. Beautiful the Sandy bicones.

I just love the Blue And Silver Lined 11/0 (2.1mm) Preciosa Rocaille Seed Beads,
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the color of blue and I think that This blue would look lovely with Aqua and White with some Emerald thrown in for good measure :o). And thank you for hooking me up with a better place to purchase my beads from {{{hugz}}}
Oh my, they have so many it's very hard to chose a favorite. There were some I hadn't even seen before. I love the seed beads, rocailles and twins, and I want to try the "Piggy Beads" someday! Would love to win these, on social security, can't always buy all the beads I would love to have!!
ReplyDeleteDifficult to pick a favorite! They have a great selection of Twin, Duet, Super Duos, and the jet magenta twins look especially nice. Thanks for sharing the link - it's new to me!
ReplyDeleteOh what a choice! I absolutely love anything that is purple at the moment, so there are far to many to choose between. I have yet to try experimenting with the twin hole - so it would be great if I was a lucky winner. But good luck to all and envy to the one who wins.

ReplyDeleteAs an artist, I am totally enthralled with color. Imagine my surprise when the following jumped into my imagination...Copper with magenta and grey, copper lined and jet olive. The super duo beads are fun and I am also in love with seed beads in size 11 and 15. So many possibilities !!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

My absolute most favorite, and if i could choose only one style and color bead, it would be the Jet Cyan Preciosa twin bead. Neon is not in my palette but because these yell summer to me, I am drawn to the matt neon beads, all styles, but especially the matt neon pink. And then the transparent colors are nice... I just want them all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful give away and should I win, I can be reached via email.
