Different Delica Finishes can cause huge changes in your design!

This project has the same size beads, same numbeer of units and yet look at the drastic difference in length.  This is due to the different finishes on the beads.

The top color is:  Matte Metallic Magenta Green Iris Miyuki Seed Bead, also known as Matte Opaque Green Patina.

The bottom color is Matte Metallic Sage Green Luster Miyuki Seed Bead also known as Matte Olive/Purple Iris.

Here is a close-up of the same bead colors.  Each needle has 24 beads on it, yet look at the difference in length.
