There is no way to answer this because we don't know the ration of blue to black beads

The best kinds of beads to use when making jewelry can be answered on several different points. Creatively, use whatever you like.

Jewelry is an art form, it has been with us since the beginning of the human race, people have decorated themselves with beautiful and unique objects that represent something special to them.

What is the message you want to convey with the jewelry you make? Use what you decide would get the message across most effectively. From a design aspect, using what is traditionally appropriate for that design, ie., glass seed beads for native American beadwork, is a good place to start, and then incorporating something a little different that you think would look good in the design will give it originality.

From a marketing perspective, semiprecious and precious stone beads are most popular, for example chalcedony briolettes, amethyst, ruby, tourmaline faceted beads, etc. While they cost more than using glass, they also demand a higher retail price for the finished piece. If you are going to spend the time to make jewelry to sell, make quality jewelry using fine materials and you will make more profit in the long run.

There are seven colors in a dream catcher. The color blue represents father sky. Purple represents introspection. Yellow represents the afterlife where our ancestors are for wisdom. Red represents calling upon the ancestors for a strong foundation. Black represents the two roads of right and wrong. White represents white people and using their knowledge in a good way, and green represents mother earth.

It depends on the pattern that you're doing, you can twist them yourself before adding the filigree cap, or if you are doing a seed bead necklace, then the twist is automatically in your pattern. Lots of patterns have illusion twists. The British Twyla Twist for example, you bead around in circles and because of your use of numbers and colours, it looks as if you are working it in twists. also Spiral staircase, you are just adding beads and the necklace looks as if it is twisting around.

I think it was called Orbitz.

The simple answer is that it is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. If you are Catholic or understand Ash Wednesday then you will know that it is the beginning of Lent when you give up most pleasures and excesses. Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) was when you went out and did all your excesses. Hope this helps.

Step one: Wet the piece of hair you are using

Step Two: make sure you have the tip wet too

If this doesn't help, wait for some one else to answer your question.

Not unless they catch fire or get out of their container.

You can definitely make a small one

If you want to make an actual one you can but you'd have to have a very big board and you would have to have a lot of beads

Beadwork is any form of decorative work involving beads.

Many people count the number of times they recite a particular verse or prayer and the preyer beads are used to keep that count. Also if you use them and pray the amount of times on the necklace you have prayed enough for the day.

The way to tell the difference is as follows:

The "beads" that are being referred to on this coin are the beads that circle the outside rim of the heads (obverse) side of the coin.

Small Beads Variety - On the right side of the queens face is the inscription D.G. Regina. If you take a close look at the periods after the "D" and the "G" of this inscription and compare their size to the size of the beads, the beads are noticeably smaller than the periods after the "D" and the "G".

Large Beads Variety - In this variety, the beads surrounding the rim are at least the same size or larger than the periods after the "D" and "G".

If you do have a small beads variety its extremely rare and is worth anywhere from $1,300 to $7,300 depending on the condition and strike of the coin.

Pandora beads are on a screw-thread with a screw-thread on the end of the bracelet. To remove beads you "unscrew" the bead as though you were unscrewing a nut.

Be careful adding other brand beads to a Pandora bracelet. If you damage the bracelet or the threads it is not covered under Pandora's warranty.

Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 mins in a normal oven. Keep checking FIMO but don't let the heat out. I think the timing can slightly vary according to the size of the model. If you make a bead then it would take less time than a bowl or something. I hope this helps!

Well, bead work is usually for making jewelry, as in necklaces, bracelets, anklets and one can even get rings and earrings out of the deal if you are clever. :)

The tools vary for what you are doing. For example, if you want to make fun, inexpensive jewelry for children, you can use as little as fishing line, acrylic or wood beads, and a lighter. For this simple project, you use the lighter to seal your knots by melting them a little. This, part obviously requires a bit of parental guidance for young ones!

However, if you want to make rosary bead necklaces, for example, you need looping (rosary) pliers, wire cutters, jump rings (metal loops that open and close) and beads, as well as a metal clasp to hold it closed. You could make your own out of the wire, too!

For a woven necklace, you'd need the right kind of thread, the beads, beading needles, alligator clips for holding closed strands you are working on, and the right kind of terminators (ends) that are suitable for a multi-strand necklace. You'd also need a clasp and jumprings, just to connect the clasp to the terminators.

For a standard beaded necklace, you want to think of the following:

1. Does it have a clasp, or is it continuous?

If it is not continuous, you need a clasp.

2. what materials am I using to make this necklace?

If your beads are heavy, you need beading wire, or a very strong thick beading thread that will probably need crimps to hold it together. If you need crimps, you need well, the wire, (tigertail, or other) the crimps, a special crimping pliers, crimp ends (which allow you to attach stuff to the ends of your beaded area) optionally crimp covers (which look like metal beads when completed) or crimp spacers which stay in one place and allow for interestingly spaced designs.

If you don't use wire, and choose a beading thread, it is handy to use glue, the right kind of knot terminators, which again, like the crimp tips, allow you to attach your clasp to the end of your project.

3. Do I have a pendant I want to use?

If so, you sometimes need to get tiny spacer beads which will allow for the pendant to sit properly nestled amongst your other, larger beads. It will also lend stability to the pendant itself. It is helpful if these are the same color as your other metal parts, so it looks professional.

So... you do need your stringing material, hardware (clasps, jumprings, spacers, knot ends or crimps) pendants and beads. Handy to have include magnifiers for placing glue on knots or crimping tiny crimps, bead reamers to widen small bead holes, storage devices for beads and hardware,glue for strengthening knots or crimps, a caddy for holding tools, 2 sets of chain nose pliers for closing jumprings, bead counters and scoops for managing your bead supply, bead boards for laying out designs, trays for holding beads while picking them out, and round nose pliers for reshaping wire.

Frankly, you can get as much or as little stuff as you want... there's a whole industry out there just selling this stuff.
