Recently I asked some blogging Twitter followers to review some packs of Hama Beads for me; they each got to choose a set to review and we sent them out. Here is what they thought of them. Being the Pearl of Toys, the feedback was, as you’d expect, pretty good!

What started out as this (Kandinsky’s painting!)
became a version in Hama Beads.
I’ve put these designs, [...]
Over the next few days, I’m going to be looking at the innovative designs using Hama Beads that there are on the web. I’ll update this post as I find them.
First up is SilverDragon, with a Flickr account full of beauties. The 3D Christmas scene first caught my eye and I’m hoping, now I have [...]
