Would you rather…
When shopping around and buying lampwork beads, would you rather buy focals, or is it sets of beads?
When it comes to making beads I have somewhat of a bead attention deficit disorder(BADD) 
and usually have a hard time making sets of beads. My mind is always all over the place wanting to try different designs. So if you look at my etsy store you’ll see 23 sets and almost 200 single items (buttons, pendants,focals). But I was thinking maybe I should just buckle down, concentrate, and get some sets done if that’s what is more in demand.
So what kind of buyer are you? If you select other, which I’m not sure what that other would be, let me know what it is by leaving a comment as well as your vote. I always like to include that option just in case

I chose other, other means I like both focals and sets. If I’m making a necklace and a matching bracelet and or earrings, I need a set of beads. If I’m making only a necklace, the focal will be enough.

I’d like both focals and sets. It depends on the piece I have in mind. For a necklace, I’d want a great focal, but for a bracelet, I’d rather have an awesome set.

Joe, I love your focal beads more than most. But in general, I like sets, because I can make some coordinating pieces.
The other thing I find with your shop is that, because you have some consistent color schemes even in beads with different designs, I can put several single items together and they look great.
I don’t need my bracelets (or even earrings, really) to be symmetrical, so a few coordinating beads work as well for me as matched pairs.
