A while ago I was browsing some online beading stores and certain beads called satin beads caught my eye. I had never seen anything like them before. At first they seemed like cubic beads, but actually they have a cylindrical shape.<\/p>\n

\"Satiinihelmet,<\/a>

Gorgeous, aren’t they?<\/p><\/div>\n

I placed an order of 20 g to try them out. I was quite excited as I got them. However, very soon I found out that there’s much room for improvement. The beads are supposed to be cylindrical, but about a quarter of them are not, cut edges are not parallel. Also the size of the beads varies a bit too much. To get a neat result, the beads need to be uniformed and even-sized. It’s really irritating that the first phase of the project is to divide the beads to three groups: big ones, small ones and no good ones. The beads are manufactured by Matsuno, whose beads are not that even-sized in general. These beads need to be not only even-sized but also carefully cut in order to suit their purpose. I think Matsuno has taken more they can chew in this. Downsides don’t end here: sharp edges decay the beadstring. As you work on, the thread starts to look poor. (Read more about Matsuno beads in my seedbead test. You’ll find it here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\"Satiinihelmet,<\/a>

There are far too many shapes and sizes.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"Satiinihelmet,<\/a>

Waxed beadstring is no longer smooth.<\/p><\/div>\n

These beads keep me linguering between heaven and hell. I’m not sure I want to have another set of them. When I’m working with the beads, I think I’ll never ever want anything to do with satin beads ever again. They ruin me. But when I look at a finished piece, I tend to forget the anger for they are so exceptionally gorgeous. My friends admire them and so I find myself thinking if they should get a second chance. We’ll see what happens when I run out of this set of beads. The only thing I know for sure is that ordinary rounded beads are so much easier to work with.<\/p>\n
