Well I'd love to see the beads you make Knottysleeves said:
I'm biased because I sell there, but... Etsy.com is always my first choice for stuff. There are so many amazing artists and some will do custom work.
Do you have a bead or craft store in your town? Sometimes you can find awesome beads with large enough holes for dreads.
You can also make your own with polymer clay that you bake in the oven... any craft store should carry it.

I saw some amazing beads made by a lady on there!!!If only I had dreads...I'll have to wait a few more months before my hair is long enough to put stuff in it. :P Otherwise it would just look goofy. 3 inches so far. I'll start putting small beads and stuff in at 5 inches. That sleeve that you called Nocturnal is AWESOME by the way! Knottysleeves said:

I don't remember what her name was but the one I saw was a snake in a tree and it had amber eyes. Beautiful piece. I would buy a sleeve from you and one of her beads but on the account that I just got a job and haven't had my first pay check AND the fact that I don't know what size my dreadies are going to be I can't buy one, lol. But I will keep you in mind for future dread sleeve wants. :P Knottysleeves said:
Thanks! I love that little guy. I have a real affinity for my animal designs, for some reason.
There are some awesome artists on Etsy... there's a Swedish woman named Naessla who sells gorgeous polymer clay dread beads at very reasonable prices. I have a few of hers and love them.

Grey, once your dreads get established, give me a shout. You deserve a little care package for all your months of patience.
