Looking For Porcelain Beads.
Q: Has anyone seen porcelain beads like I am looking for?
A:
'Fire Mountain Gems' has had porcelain beads in cylindrical form. I don't know if
they are the size you are looking for or not. I also thought I saw them in 'Bead
Lovers' catalog in maybe two sizes. I hope this helps.
Are you sure they are not glass beads? We used to buy from 'Walco', but
the beads you describe were called tile beads,
but they're actually glass...
I think they are porcelain .... part of the intro states " Tile mats are
flexible, durable and can withstand heat. They are not
affected by water or any liquid-hot or cold-and they can be wiped clean with a
damp cloth or washed with soap and water just like any porcelain objects."
None of the tiles have broken, and I don't have the guts to break one!
I have the perfect website that sells porcelain
bracelets and handmade glass jewelry, and fresh
water-pearl necklaces.
