I just released my Peacock Miyuki bead mix recipe and color palette. This is a mix I made back in 2022, and I haven't stocked it in a while. But it was very popular when it was first released. The fun part about this bead mix and color combo is that you can create it in all sizes: 15/0, 11/0, 8/0, and 6/0. You could even purchase different colors in different sizes to create bracelets and necklaces with lots of charm and a harmonious color palette. Or you can stick with one size and add some beads in different shapes, such as pearls or fire-polished beads. Lots of possibilities!

Beach Vibes bead mix recipe/color palette is now available. It's perfect for summer! It can be made with Miyuki size 11/0 and 8/0. But if you swap out the cream color, you can make it in 15/0 and 6/0 as well.

These bead mix recipes include the manufacturer bead numbers, so you can recreate this bead mix or color palette with beads from your stash or your favorite bead shop. I have 30 recipes available now and am adding more every day.

I just released the Miyuki bead mix recipe for my original 2022 Spooky bead mix. I compared the 3 versions that I offered over the years, and this was by far my favorite. Now you can re-create it on your own! 🖤 🧡 💚 💜

One of my later versions includes white. And I think that looks good too. So if you like white, you could easily add it (402).

I restocked my "This is Halloween" Czech 6/0 bead mix. It's in the holiday shop. This will be the last batch I make of this fun and festive mix. One of my all-time favorites. Go to www.thebeadmix.com > shop > Holiday Shop 🎃

I don't want to advertise these too much because it's only June, but many of you were interested in holiday mixes now. I know a lot of people plan their handmade gifts in the summer, and those who make and sell jewelry also like to look ahead. So I'm just going to leave these here to let you know they are available if you haven't seen them yet. Go to www.thebeadmix.com > shop > Holiday Shop. Once these sell out, I will not be restocking 😊

The first and second ones are my favorites. The frosted transparent rainbow beads give off such a beautiful glow, especially in the second one (Pine Needles). I also love number 6. It's so warm and cozy. And it looks so much prettier in person. How about you? What's your favorite?

I will soon release my bead sets to make Christmas charms. So stay tuned!

I just released the recipe for this popular Miyuki bead mix that I made a long time ago and haven't had in stock for a while. It's called Camo. The great thing about having the recipe is that you can probably find some of these colors in your stash already. And you can customize the mix to fit your personal preference. For example, I had one follower tell me a long time ago that they loved everything about this mix except for the rose/bronze bead. So in this case, you could easily leave that color out or add another color you like better.

All of my bead mix recipes include manufacturer bead numbers and the sizes each color comes in. Based on that info, I share which sizes you can make the mix in. With Camo, you can only make the exact mix in size 11/0 because one of the colors is only available in that size. But, if you leave that color out, you can make it in 15/0, 11/0, and 8/0. Lots of possibilities!

Have you checked out my bead mix recipes yet? I have 21 listed so far and plan to list more each day. Once you purchase, you can access the files instantly.

I just made my last Miyuki 11/0 seed bead mix 🥲 So I mixed up all the colors left and will be giving these tubes of beads out as free gift with every order 🙌

So here’s the plan moving forward. I have a few more Miyuki mixes to release. I’m going to releasing a bunch of striped Czech 6/0 seed beads and some Unions, which are Miyuki beads with Czech finishes. These will all be eligible under the 50% Spring Clearance sale.

Then, I will be releasing a bunch of Christmas bead mixes and Czech glass bead sets to make Christmas charms. I got a bunch of new colors for the Christmas trees, then there’s the light bulbs and snowmen. This year I created a new Christmas charm and I cannot wait to share it with you. I’m shooting for June, so stay tuned!

I will keep all inventory listed until it sells. Then, moving forward, I will only have my bead mix recipes available for a nominal fee. I’m also thinking about making my color combo tool available for free, but it depends on how much time it will take to make it valuable. So it will either be available for free or not at all 😅

So that’s my plan! Since the Christmas stuff will go fast, and I will not be restocking, I might finish up selling physical products before the end of the year. But I’ll still be checking in and managing my social media accounts, so it’s not goodbye 💕

I have beads in every drawer and in every nook and cranny of my studio. Many beads I forgot I had, and many beads that I forgot what I planned to do with them 😅

Anyway... here are 6 brand new Czech 6/0 seed bead mixes I put together. And they are eligible for the 50% off spring clearance sale. But please read the fine print 🙏

Some of these will sell quickly. You can find them at www.thebeadmix.com > Shop > What's New!

I just released two Miyuki 3.4mm DROP bead mixes. These are tiny teardrop-shaped beads with a horizontally drilled hole at the top. I love using them at the bottom of beaded fringe earrings. The perfect accent!

I created two mixes with neutral colors that will blend well with many colors. The mixes are designed so you can try out a bunch of colors before investing in large quantities of each.

They are about 3.4 mm long and 3 mm wide. They come in 20-gram packs with about 360 beads per pack.

The first one is called Cleopatra and is a mix of white luster, duracoat galvanized gold and silver, metallic bronze, and turquoise Picasso.

The second is called Black Tie and is a mix of black, white, and crystal with a variety of finishes. The crystal rainbow beads look like tiny raindrops or icicles. So pretty!

You can find them now @ www.thebeadmix.com > shop > What's New! And the 50% off Spring Clearance discount still applies. Plus, get a free bag of bead soup with every purchase while supplies last 💕

I just released this mix of 3mm Czech fire polished beads. It’s a great collection of soft and neutral colors. I think this size pairs beautifully with Miyuki size 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads. It’s sold in 20 gram packs, which is about 520 beads. Plus, it’s eligible for the 50% Spring Clearance discount and I’m giving away a free bag of bead soup with every order while supplies last. Check my stories for a photo. To view the detail about this mix, go to www.thebeadmix.com > Shop > What’s New!

Happy Wednesday 💕
