Did anyone say they are not justified?
Thanks again Leigh Anne for this timely info and keeping your fellow bead-heads out of hot water. The large hole bead market has been a saving grace for many glass artists during the downturn in the economy, and I for one am grateful for the marketing that these large companies have done, but that said, they did not invent the large hole bead. I am happy to call them Charm Beads and get on with it.
