| Sundance's New Sequins |
The photo above shows the large variety of sequins Sundance has available. I am sure there are more colors but these are just what I was given. There look to be 30+ sequins in each little envelope. I don't know if you can tell how high quality they are in the photo, but in person they are much nicer than the craft emporium sequins I have available to me locally.
The packets are (left to right, top row)--
Opaque Flower BDS-SQ101 and
embossed disks (no label) which are flat on one side and have circles carved into them on the other side.
(left to right, middle row)--
Raised Flowers BDS-SQ103, which are cupped sequins with a curved flower edge in pastel colors,
Etched Panel Square BDS-SQ110 which are in jewel tones and clear, and
Silver BDS-SQ114 which are flat silver sequins. They reflect the light well which is why they look two-toned in the photo.
(left to right, bottom row)
Animal Square BDS-SQ106 which have a holographic surface covered with black animal spots and
Black Shimmer BDS-SQ112 which are black with a holographic shimmer of highlights in red, navy, orange, yellow and green. They feel flat but look faceted.
All the sequins have one center hole. They are all 4-6 mm across except for the big flower sequins which are roughly 15 mm. The holes are fairly small. It looks as if a size 22 tapestry needle will go through most of the holes although some of the smaller sequins might need a 24 or 26 needle. Any Mill Hill or Sundance 11/0 bead will easily hold these sequins in position.
I'm hoping Sundance will update their website or their blog with more information about the available colors.

Thanks, Jane. These sequins look very nice & certainly present a whole new set of ideas for special effects! I will definitely keep them in mind for the Leigh Mask I have waiting in the wings!
Liz, this looks a good source for sequins in smaller sizes. I don't know if they are as nice as the Sundance ones, though.

I am thinking Wild Woman! Love these!
I would love to purchase the sequins but have been unable to locate on google who to purchase them from...any ideas of how I can get ahold of them?
Lu Ann...
LuAnnie, mine were a gift from Leigh Deigns who got them from Sundance at the winter trade show. I would suggest that you talk to Ruth Schmuff at Beadecked and Beadazzled (Baltimore, MD) or Colleen at Needle Works (Austin, TX). Another good source is probably Amy Bunger's store Amy's Golden Strand (Memphis, TN).
HOWEVER, this week is a trade show and they will all be busy. Wait until at least next Wednesday before you try to reach any of them as they are not at home but on the road.
Here are the websites--

If you can't find them there, email me at chillyhollow at hot mail dot com and I'll share mine with you.
