what are your controversial bead opinions?

mine is that i don't like pearlescent beads. sometimes they're ok but for the most part i find them kind of tacky & unpleasant to look at, and much prefer a regular opaque bead—or, if we're getting shiny with it, a nice iridescent/AB.

also, heart beads with horizontal holes should be the norm! i don't know why they are so hard to find... bless beadtin.com for carrying them.

I don’t like the letter beads that are rlly tiny they just kind of look stupid compared to all the other pony beads you have on the bracelet I have some number beads but they r really tiny and I want to hit them with a hammer but they r my only number beads so I’m stuck with them :

If you aren’t making stupidly large cuffs, you are doing Kandi wrong awesome1

im not really a fan of multistitch cuffs. they're cool, but i like to wear a lot of crazy 3d kandi so the flatness of it looks out of place. plus i hate how the edges arent even (its also pretty much the same with peyote cuffs but without the edges thing)

I strongly dislike I tri-beads! Like I rarely ever use em and stuff and usually forget of their existence, they’re also just unpleasant looking idk. shrug

@M1R41_x: I've never had one break, and they're good for tiny things like dividing words, but for reasons I don't understand whole bracelets and necklaces make me want to scream.
