Comments:

My picture is a little dark; the actual beads are a bit lighter.  Although these beads are just 1mm shorter than the 12mm leaf beads that I carry, they seem much smaller because they are more slender and less thick.  They are more delicate than the 12mm leaves.  I immediately liked them when I got them.  Unfortunately, however, the supplier doesn't carry them in many colors.
