Default size of your average bead?

What is your average size beads you make, not including focals or spacers?

Small, I suppose...like 12mm. I don't know how, but most all my beads end up this size, give or take a .5mm. I have to kick myself to make a focal size, which is to me, like 16mm+. Biggest one I ever made was about 32mm, a hollow.

Mine almost always end up about 10 mm hole to hole. For little rounds that is, not counting ones that I intend to be bigger beads like focals etc..

My floral focals are usually 25mm, give or take. When I make spacers they're usually around 10mm.

Beads like in a set of beasds - 12 to 14 mm.

focals up to 50 mm. I made one goddess as a special order that was 3 inches long. That was hard.

My husband's hollows are usually between 30 and 45 mm.
