Looking for Dog Bone Beads
I made a dog bone lanyard a few months back. I picked up the beads at a bead show on a whim about a year ago. I sold the lanyard in December which turned out to be a gift. My customer contacted me on Monday for another one. Low and behold, I get another request from someone else today for the exact same lanyard. So I'm desperately looking for these beads. Colors don't matter, just the beads. I've search high and low with every keyword imaginable and still nothing. The bead show is coming back in March and she's willing to wait. I explained how I got the beads, and I may not be able to get them. I had no idea that this lanyard would be so popular. I made a bracelet with the few I had left over, but not enough for a lanyard.
The beads I used were Unakite and I was told Jasper for the brick red. If anyone can help me track down these beads, I would be so appreciative.

I will take a look at my local craft store that has killer fabric and bead departments!!
ReplyDeleteI had fabric last year around Valentines day that I have been getting requests for... can't find it either!!
We have a bead boutique here in town, I'll call and ask for you. If you can find a supplier, you might have the elusive hot product!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michele and Primal Painter. I really appreciate the help. Thank goodness either customers are not on a deadline.

ReplyDeleteHey, I have been looking, not finding exactly what you want. I did contact Eclectica Beads Wisconsin about this, they said, "Sadly, I don't think we have anything like that in stock at the moment. We might have barbell beads, but they're not the same. You can try contacting our mail order department at (262)641-0910 or eclecticainfo@sbcglobal.net. Hope that helps!"
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Blackheart Betty and Deni. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the extra time to help me. Thank you thank you!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't found what you are looking for yet why don't you put the picture on Linda Kelly Lee's new site:
