    Wow - I am the first comment! I love just about any kind of bead, but my current favorite are lampwork beads, especially in blues and greens. Thanks for the opportunity to win this great "loot"!

    I love to work with Delicas as far as seed type beads go. As for other types I like metals, but with worn or matte patinas to them, I am not a shiny person as it makes me think of dressing up, and I love to wear my jewellry with jeans and a t-shirt.
    Thanks for the opportunity, as you have put together a lovely collection!

    I am addicted, I mean in love with so many types of beads that it is hard to choose! Lately, I have been drooling over and buying artisan beads. They add such a wonderful story element to my designs. So I will say artisan beads. The collection in your giveaway is stunning! Happy birthday to Aiden!

    My favorite kind of bead!!?? Gah that's like asking what my favorite cheese is. . .I like them all. If I HAVE to pick one kind I'll say glass simply because I do use a LOT of glass beads in my work. However, I really just like beads of all shapes, sizes, and materials and the more interesting and unique, the better!

    Looks like a fab giveaway -- thanks for the chance, Staci!

    My favourites change all the time, but something organic, earthy is never wrong. Like ceramics or patinated copper/brass/bronze. Or czech pressed glass beads -- love those: all the different shapes, colours and finishes. I prefer matte or semi-matte surfaces to really shiny ones. Nothing big and sparkly, but I love to add a few small sparkly beads like dewdrops.

    it would have to be either lampwork or enamel..although I do love stone as well, and I have to have lots of seed beads, for bead weaving......I guess I love them all.......I'm hopeless

    I love lampwork, but my favorite right now seems to be anything metal clay, or metal enameled. Although I don't have any, I'm currently 'shopping'. :) Would love to win this stash.
    My e-mail should be available on my blog.

    Gemstones are always my favorite beads with malachite and peridot topping the list. Anything with an organic texture and feel as well.

  20. Shay StoneSeptember 24, 2011 at 1:21 AM

    Hey Staci :)
    Good question. I suppose my first choice is organic (gemstone), and closely behind is any other organic - shell, wood, bone, etc, then probably PMC of all metals.

    Happy creating to you!

    It's quite difficult to name just one favorite bead :) I do like and use firepolished beads quite much so I put them on first place closely followed by semiprecious stones and freshwater pearls.

  22. Jasmine1485September 24, 2011 at 6:17 AM

    I love semi-precious stone beads, but I'm not fussy about shape, I like round, oval or chips. They're probably my favourite, but I also like to use small metal accent beads and coloured glass.

    Oh, please, please let me win! Love all those pieces! My favorite bead has always been organic, whether it is a humble beach stone or highly polished semi-precious stone and preferably in a natural (nugget) shape.

    It is hard to pick a favorite! I definately love the gemstones and seed beads. And after my bead soup mix lampwork is definately becoming a favorite. Tough choice!1

  27. Karen WilliamsSeptember 25, 2011 at 2:19 PM

    Besides seed beads, I love using organic beads loike leopard Jasper, sea glass and lamp worked beads. So I guess that's three favorites. And I am indeed still hopping!:

    Favorite bead - used to be gemstones & Swarovski when I was into pearl knotting, but know I love copper & also working with vintage finds. Your bag of loot is definitely drool-worthy!!

  31. Kathy ~ Artful AccentsSeptember 25, 2011 at 10:52 PM

    You're asking bead lovers to choose their favorite bead?? Eee gads, that's a tough one when I like them all! But I guess I could narrow it down to my favorite color of beads...aqua or turquoise, for sure. I am really beginning to appreciate art beads and would like to use them more in my designs to take the OOAK premise one step further!

    Thanks for doing such a generous giveaway!

    Honestly, I think I kinda love them all! I love lampwork since I work in glass as well and enamels really intrigue me, but really, who doesn't love ALL beads?!

    I am becoming a fast fan of lampwork beads - I love to see what other people create - hopefully one day I will too. I also am a huge fan of turquoise and silver - can never have enough. But generally there aren't many beads I don't like.

  35. Erin SSeptember 27, 2011 at 3:44 PM

    my favorite beads are either organic or geometric. I love both! My least favorites are filagree and crystal--pretty much the opposite of everyone else!

    An almost impossible-to-answer question! I'm hopelessly addicted to seed beads, and I'm also addicted to rocks. Then again, I'm a lampwork bead maker/teacher - I love handmade glass beads! And pearls, and mixed metals, and... and... So I'll have to take a different tack. I love nature-inspired beads. There! :-D

    Thank you for such a lovely giveaway! And I hope Aiden had a wonderful birthday!

    That is a hard one. I like most beads: ceramic, clay, lamp work copper, brass etc. I guess my favorite would be gem stones. Some of my favorite gem stones are: Onyx, Malachite, and Lapis lazuli.
