When I first found out that PC was actually plastic I freaked!  I can be such a snoot sometimes.  But since it really doesn't look plastic and I was already hooked, I found that I really didn't care. AND after seeing all the stunning designs here and other places on the web I find it one of the more challenging and unique mediums to work with.  Well I have been doing some "research"...checking out RubyLane and Etsy and have discovered that vintage is really "in".   PC aside, I never thought I would buy a plastic bead!  But after checking out this site www.beadinpath.com I decided to buy a few..and I must say I am very pleased with my purchases.  The only downside is the shipping cost although if you order over 25 bucks, shipping is free. What am I going to do with my lucite lovelies??  You'll see (hopefully soon)!

Lucite is really a hit now, especially with the younger highschool and college girls (at least around here it is).  I never thought I'd buy the stuff either, but it's growing on me.  I can't wait to see what you do with yours. Alice

What a tease Fen!!! I hope you dont make us wait tooo long!  Happy Mothers Day!

me too - resin is plastic also! funny, I just purchased a set of resin beads yesterday and I NEVER thought I would. hey, I use plated stuff sometimes too. times are a changing. 

hmmm.....Youve all perked my curiousity now, Im going to have to look into this.

 I've made several sets w/ lucite . . . but don't charge near as much for those as I would my Swars . . . I have found some really cool donuts . . . oh wow they are pretty . . . . in lucite . . .
