Still on the hunt for the best flower pattern and in my research mode Have anyone any suggestions?

Both of these Picasso colors are listed as "matte", but photos don't carry that chalk-like matte I'm used to seeing. I have some Picasso delica 11/0 listed as matte, but the matte seems to be from the grey/green mottling, while the base color has a sheen to it. If you have either of these in an 8/0 round, would you please share how shiny or flat these appear in the larger rounds? Thank you so much for looking at your beads if you have them

Well, I did these the other night. I saw a picture someone posted on line and fell in love. I printed out the picture and went to town. I am so sorry, I did not get the name of the person who designed them. I kinda messed up the first one, but the second is better. Jack, and his slightly misshapen brother, Fred. (Fred is on the left).

Jesse James Beads has a 30 % off bead mixed and other things!!!

Several years ago when my delica stash began to grow, I thought I had finally found the perfect thing to store in this antique sheet music cabinet that had been given to me. Because the drawers are so thin, I got these flip-top containers. I spent hours making the labels. I wanted to be able to see right away what the delica number was. With the tubes, you have to pick them up and turn them just right to be able to read the number. The problem? The lids don’t stay on!! Dropping them is a disaster! The lids pop off and beads go everywhere. The lids come off so easily, but I have hundreds of them! I am going to try the diamond art screw top containers. They won’t fit in the drawer, but I guess I could take the bottom out of every other drawer. Don’t get these containers!
