Though I love beads, recently I’ve started having an interest in stones.

Beads would be my choice, if I had to choose one. I like the look of beads the most. It takes a lot of patience to sew with them, especially if they’re the tiny ones, but I think they are a nice embellishment to clothing and decorative pillows.

Beads are my favorite embellishment sometimes I love the look of an opalesent sequin along with a bead for an extra pop.

My favorites are beads, but I think they all look better when mixed.

Beads are certainly my choice! But then again mixing beads and sequins would give even better outcome!

I love working with beads but I absolutely envy anyone who has the patience to transform a sequin(s) into a colorful waterfall you can basically wear.
