The second auction of my Delicas DB11 seed beads began early this morning Sept 23 and ends at 9 pm EDT on Sept 25. Below is a photo of one lot from this auction.
• There will be 7 auctions, each with 9 or 10 lots of Delicas.
• There are 588 different items with a total weight of 5,502 grams and a current value of over CA$3,800.
• Most of the different beads are accompanied by a stitched rectangle.
• Each lot has shades from one of the 20 different colour groups—except for a few lots that have expensive beads or large quantities of a bead.
• You can view/download a pdf copy of all the beads/lots/auctions with CAD costs and starting bids here www.dropbox.com/sh/wlza8liyrw908wg/AABSyLhGCqXkJT927K4PiGYra?dl=0
• Each auction will last for only 3 days, with a day or two between auctions.
Note: Why stitched rectangles?
These are excellent for visualizing what a bead will look like when stitched. This is not always obvious by looking at a tube or bag of beads.
They are especially useful when deciding which beads to use together in a project.
Note: Why 20 Colour Families?
I learned about this idea from Susie Hughes back in 2000 when I first began beading. (BeadCreator software was developed in conjunction with Susie.) Thanks, Susie for all the work you did! ... See MoreSee Less
