Another Beaded Box

 I am in the process of beading another box . This time I am using up my size 9 beads. I now use mostly 11s. Its going to be larger than the last one I made.I have finished the lid and the reinforced edge worked out great. I have started on the base of the box it has a cat on the walls.
I am having trouble with the beads because the bead are not the correct sized . this is another reason i am not using these beads any more but when I started beading they were all I could get locally.
