12/0 Seed Beads Transparent Dark Green

“Anishinaabeg are woodland peoples of the Great Lakes. Forests, trees, and plants have great meaning for us. So do green colors. When I look at this Transparent Dark Green bead, I imagine myself in the deep woods on a summer's day, gazing up through the canopy of maple and oak trees. The sun's light is filtered through the many layers of leaves, giving the world around me a green glow. This place is full of life; it's where medicines and food grow. Where creatures live and roam. Where birds sing and squirrels chatter. It is home for the mind and the spirit." - Autumn “Ellie" Mitchell, Owner of Bead & Powwow Supply.

Transparent glass allows light to pass through the bead, liked stained glass. This makes transparent beads appear extra shiny. The beads are see-through, so the color of the stringing material can affect the appearance - transparent beads strung on black thread will look darker than the same beads on white thread.

Seed beads are a very popular and time-honored option for any bead artist, whether your art is worn on the powwow trail, displayed in a gallery, or adorning a person. They are fairly uniform in shape and size. They can be used in virtually any beaded project, including applique or flat stitch, lane stitch, peyote stitch, loomwork, bead weaving, bead stringing and jewelry making. Since they are so versatile, we recommend using seed beads for beginning beaders, classes, and workshops.
