Delicas
11/0 Delicas are 1.8mm in size. These are sold
in 10 gram tubes, though some more expensive colors are
in 5 grams tubes.
This size Delica is sometimes listed as 12/0, because
they are the same size as 12/0 Seed Beads.
11/0 Seed Beads are 2.2mm in size, and these Delicas are closer
in size to the 12/0. The are called 11/0's because they are used
interchangeably with the slightly larger 11/0 seed bead. They
are interchangeable with the larger bead because of the shape
difference.
Delicas are very tiny sliced tubes, and are somewhat like working
with blocks, instead of balls. They are widely used in
the making of amulet purses.
Most people select delicas by code numbers to go with
project patterns, so our selection is ordered by Series Number.
There are approximately
1900 delica beads in a 10 gram tube.
About interchanging delicas and 11/0 seed beads:
If you were creating an eye-glass leash with seed beads, and standing
against the light, you would see the uneven shapes of the sides
of these beads. If you used delicas, you would see a solid line
of color. When people view a solid line of color, they view the
piece as higher end.
If you were showing your leashes in a higher-end $60.00 market,
and used seed beads, your leashes might look cheap. If you were
showing
your leashes in a lower-end $20.00 market, and used delicas, people
would tend to avoid purchasing these because they would seem very
out
of place.
If you were creating a bead-weaving like an amulet bag, and used
seed beads, you would see gaps of light between each bead in the
finished piece. If your piece were a solid color, they would look
less intense. If your piece were a pattern or a picture, they would
look less sharp.
If
you used delicas in your beadweaving, these would lay together
like a brick wall -- no gaps. If your piece
were a solid color, it would look more intense. If it were a
pattern or a picture, it would look sharper. Also, if you tried to move your piece, the one with seed beads
would feel stiff, because the ridges on the outsides of the beads
catch on each other. With delicas, your piece would feel much more
like a piece of cloth.

NOTE: The finishes/colors
on beads that have been metallized, galvanized or dyed,
may rub off or bleed with handling. Please use
a spray fixative like Krylon with these beads.
What is it? --
11/0 Delicas or 12/0 Delicas?
Delica beads are the same size as 12/0 Seed Beads. However, in
projects, Delicas, because of their size and shape relative to
the size and
shape of Seed Beads, are used interchangeably with 11/0 Seed Beads.
At Land of Odds, we refer to these Delicas as size 11/0. Some
places
refer to the exact same bead as 12/0 Delicas. Both
are the same.
11/0
Delicas are 1.8mm in size. These are sold
in 10 gram tubes, (though some more expensive colors
are in 5 grams tubes -- the order sheets specify the amount of
grams
in the tube).
There
are approximately 1900 delica beads in a 10 gram tube.
