It has already been an item on beadcolletor network (a long time ago I think?), but here again:
Try this: http://pivotcentraal.ab-c.nl/tradebeads
and you will find all the sample cards of the Sick collection, but now with a lot of information like: bead type (fancy bead, millefiori, rosetta etc. etc).
You can click and you will also find information about period etc. etc.
I hope all of you will enjoy this and ... December is a good period to have a look at 22.000 beads!

These are much easier to use than the CD. Will they be linked on the Home page? It would be nice to access them quickly.
Sorry, too fast so here again:
1. Go to the website www.tropenmuseum.nl and make your choice in English (right) and then click on "collection on line"
2. Scroll on that page and you will see the text "also the Tradebeads from the Sick collection"
3. Click on the text again and voila: all the information is there!
And then I made it one of my favorites!
Enjoy it and have a nice day. Here in Holland we are now in winterwonderland!
