Hi Judith, They do look rather like shot silk in the photo. Some of them are more chartreuse on one side and more teal on the other.
The long ‘straw’ beads have almost a chalky feel they are pretty fragile, too. I am glad I chose to use them this way because the metal from the pin will keep them from breaking. They wouldn’t have worked too well on an item that needed flexibility or that might knock against things like a skirt hem. Thanks for commenting. Sandy
Thanks for comments. I do read them and comment when I can. Apologies in advance if I don't get to reply though. Thanks, Sandy PS If you are set to "noreply blogger" Unless I know your actual email address, I can't reply to your comment.
These beads remind me of the green silk in the very first bead post you did ... just love that jewel colour in any form ... J
