11/0 Seed Beads Transparent Luster Dark Red

The Transparent Dark Red beads are a beautiful dark red that retains its red hues, even in artificial light (unlike opaque dark reds, which can appear brown in artificial lighting). These beads will add the shimmery touch to any cherries or dark strawberries your heart desires to create.

Transparent glass allows light to pass through the bead, liked stained glass. Transparent Luster beads are shinier and flashier than their regular transparent counterparts. The luster affect tends to lighten the colors a little, so they can be used with regular transparents for shading and depth. Use with matte beads to draw out the shine of the luster beads.

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.
