I bought some of these beads in pink and use them for my little river nymphs for greyling. Absolutly fantastic, i got mine from a shop in Poland. Been looking for a source in the UK for the pink ones but can only seem to find red, blue and green. Anyone know of where to get hold of pink ones?

The metallic pink ones i ordered are a purplely pink { but very nice }, the fluro. pink brass hot heads are a super pink { just right } and well coated.

Whilst i'm on i will say that the metallic orange beads are of a strong copper orange colour..........as opposed to plain orange...... but an excellent colour for the rivers.
Still, they are really well finished !

Thanks for the positive feedback on our brass beads

If anyone has problems ordering, just give me a phone or PM me.

PS - the above link to the bead category page doesn't mention the free P&P code which is on the homepage. If you enter FP0110 you get free P&P on all orders.

Ian
