    1. Hi Lindsay. I buy most of my metallic seed beads from Charlene's Beads. She usually has all the sizes in most colors. She also has very good prices on them. HERE is the link to the page with the metallic seed beads.

  7. Can I do without the size 15/0s and just used 11/0s?

    1. You can try that but I don't think they'll work. I think the beads would be too crowded with all 11/0s. But, it can't hurt to give it a try.

  11. I'm new to your web-site (and to intricate beading techniques) and just LOVE your patterns-they remind me of Victorian/ Art Deco motifs. You've inspired me to think about designing my own patterns!! I noticed when this pattern was first put on the site that SuperDuo beads were rather new, was there a certain size used?

    1. There is some size variation between different brands of SuperDuos and sometimes different coatings can affect the size of them. I generally choose them based the color that I want to use rather than their size. Most of the time that's not a problem but every now and then I'll run into issues if the ones I'm using are a little fat. It really depends on the pattern I'm using and how the beads fit together.
