I have found great places to get Delicas, but what about size 6's? I want (need) some silver, copper & gold, to start with. My LBS is ordering some, but I need some to tide me over!

Size 6's?

Do you mean that you want 6/0 seed beads, or the hard to find larger Delicas?
Mail order, I usually just get the 6/0 seed beads from Shipwreck Beads, but don't know where to get the larger (8/0) Delicas unless you order from Caravan Beads in Chicago.
Hope this helps, Hannah
If Japanese seed beads (non-delicas, but more regular than Czech size
6s) will do, try these folks:

second link also has some of the larger 'delica' style beads ifthat is more what you are after, only the Toho brand calls theirversion Treasures rather than Delicas. Both places have good deals on bulk quantities, if you've got a big project, or some colors you use over and over.

Sorry about that - I'm liikong for the 6/0 seed beads. I'll check Shipwreck!

Well, piffle! Even that link doesn't lead to color pics any more. Silly people expect you to imagine what they look like, I guess.
The Bobby Bead link has good images, but they take a while to load, and you can get color numbers there. Hopefully there is a fair amount of cross-over in stock between the two vendors.
Apologies for the confusion.
