Quick Doodles: Beads and Such

Pet Peeve: beads that come in multicolor packages.

I don’t have anything against the fun packs of beads you can pick up at Walmart or even Hobby Lobby. But when I’m going out of my way (a.k.a. going online to a specific store) to find a specialty bead with a distinct sheen, shape, material, whatever, nothing ticks me off more than finding that bead only comes in silver or gold, and then mixed multicolor—to me, totally random—packs.

This is because if I’m cosplaying, chances are that the character has a very specific color, say… green. Green isn’t random. Not random at all. And cosplay is such an expensive endeavor, it's not fun to hand over your money and only get 1/10 of it back.

Also. In the catalogues, the price is usually what I see first. So if I see an awesome amount of beads for an incredible price, I get excited. Then I see that they’re mixed or multicolor, and I get sad. It happens.
