Vicus from Hungary is selling embroidered pieces. I really like her collar made with Swarovski crystals and semiprecious stones. The colors she used are great, the collar itself looks exquisite.

What type of thread to use?
I think it is always a question for beginners, but many times even for those who bead for many years. Great products appear on market constantly, and we, beaders also like changing techniques and trying out new things. Many times working with different sizes of beads needs different threads. Just to make it summarize herewith I collected some important information:
NYLON: When knotting or using heavy beads (not seed beads) I always use nylon. Nylon is a synthetic fiber, it does not stretch or fray. My favourite brand is Fireline, but sometimes I find great options in fishing shops (usually not cheaper). Nylon gives a nice hold for a design. There are different sizes and colors. I usually use smoke grey color for darker beads and use crystals for lighter designs. I usually use 0,20 for really heavy beads with bigger holes, and I use quite often 0,10 or 0,12 for every day usage even for seed beads. I am really fond of fireline, maybe the most used thread type.

Par Puca introduced a new bead called SAMOS par Puca. It looks great, I like the shape and they produced beautiful colors. Anna Puca made some nice designs already.
I have already ordered some colors. I wonder what am I going to do with them when I get them in my hand. Usually got inspiration when I have the beads physically in my hands, but this time I already have an idea. Hope someone will not be quick enough to do it. Recently it happaned that when I was not quick enough a beader has already made the design (similar) I had in my mind.
So take a look at Puca Facebook Fun page and enjoy the creations.
