Just when you thought you'd seen it all, a new bead comes to town. Meet Tila -- it's a small tile-shaped bead with two holes from the Miyuki Co., which is known for its Delica beads. This versatile new bead changes the way we think not only about stitching projects but about stringing, wire and elastic projects as well.
