Alley Cat- September 2018
Custom Mix of 11/0, 8/0 and 6/0 Miyuki Seed Beads
Unit: tube
$13.95 USD
As Karen, this mix’s creator, explains it, “cat at midnight was my inspiration.” We all are still wondering what life around the office was like before Alfie came into our lives. Rescued* by the team, he now lives with Kate and commutes to work with her each day. He is a joy for everyone at beadshop. With some gray under his chin and on the back of his tail, he isn’t just black.
Karen was inspired by Alfie’s personality, his lovely eyes, and the reddish-brown undertones of his coat. This array of richly colored 6/0 and 8/0 Miyukis is complemented by an adorable little black cat charm, a first for our Monthly Mixes! As this is a limited-edition mix for September 2018, we suggest getting it during the month of its release. If you would like to recreate the mix, the beads Karen used are:
- 6-142S Silver-Lined Smokey Amethyst
- 6-3814 Pearlized Amethyst Mint
- 6-451 Gunmetal
- 8-215 Blush Lined Crystal
- 8-197 Copper Lined Crystal
- 8-460 Metallic Dark Raspberry
- 8-187 Bright Copper Plated
- Alfie Charm- Black
If you were to purchase all the beads and the charm separately, the purchase price is almost $60! This is a great way to try them all and have a special mix made by hand in our bead studio. We hope you like Alley Cat.
Sold by the tube of 22 grams. Mix may vary slightly from photograph.
