Question about delicas

I second that! Charlene is great to work with and I recommend her on my
website.

11/0s have one great advantage that offsets their tiny size: the
fabulous colors. Thousands of colors. Far more colors than are
available in 8/0 and 6/0. Although....sigh....not as many colors as
those weensy Delicas.

If you have my (lack of) manual dexterity (I sometimes joke that I
became
a programmer because computer keys are big enough to hit), 11/0s are
as small as it gets that you (I) can handle. As colors go, you can
find a
lot of colors in the larger beads as well if you go a bit out of your
way.
Only because e.g. FMG doesn't have them doesn't mean they don't
exist. The weight is higher, so transport is higher, so prices are
higher, and some colors are more expensive than others.

If you want a whole slew of colors in the larger beads (8/0 and 6/0),
then hark thyself over to
charlene's beads: http://www.cbbeads.com/

She has more colors than I will ever use in the 8/0's, which I use
because some nerve damage makes it difficult for me to use the
littles. Her prices are more than fair (buy the 1/4 kilos or larger
in your most-used colors for a real deal). Charlene is happy to order
a color for you if you need it in the 1/4 kilo size and up (I think
that's the rule). Also, she's a "regular person" not a commercial
enterprise like FMG, which is a huge plus to me. She carries the
little beads, too, but there are many suppliers of little beads, and
not a whole lot who "bother" with the 8/0s and 6/0s.

Tell her Kathy N-V sent you.
