Displaying Bead Collection

[Stacy]

I have just recieved my bead from Les, which is so stunning that I can't bear to leave it in the box. So I was just wondering how you store or display your bead collections?

I was thinking of one of those wall displays with little boxes but even they might be too big for some of the smaller beads.

Oooh, post a picture..!  I have a bead rack from Jim at BlueMoon which sits in my little torching corner

[Les]

i have 2 of those racks myself... one stands on top of a chest of draws and the other hangs on the wall just by this computer

They're just ace !!!

( glad you like the bead Stacey   )

I'd like some acrylic block and rod stands.... so they can be shown individually and on my dresser in the lounge. I have a Diana East bead that just needs showing off you see!!!!!

Failing that - I may just make some stands out of some old mandrels ( bend a coil around the bottom).

I would loooove to see your bead displays. Would you please be so kind to post pictures?

[Les]

I'd love to find some nice simple stands for showing off the odd focal too... anyone know of anybody ? ? ?

That's exactly what I want Jim, an abacus type frame. There's a bead shop in the Perth area, they have a lot of beads displayed on the same type of thing. I asked if I could buy one, but got quite a snotty response from the assistant, something like "oh, they're not for sale, the owner IMPORTS them". My brain was screaming at me to say "oh yes, just like most of the beads in this shop", but my mouth wouldn't form the words....
If I could get one in the UK, I'd definitely have one!

You should have screamed at em.......at least muttered I make better stuff than the crap you sell before turning on your heel and runnniiiiinnnggggg

Why is "importing" stuff such a big deal to the shop? Shops do it all the time. It's not like you have to go and fetch it yourself!
