WOW Thomas what a fantastic posting. you must have had the vacation of a lifetime. There are so many amazing beads in this thread that any comment would seem inadequate. Is that a 10 layer chevron you are showing? and do you have any information about these particular beads with the interesting cane? thank you so much for the treat, Judy

all those special chevrons strewn around as if they grow like nothing in these beautiful surroundings... It reminds me of a picture , I think taken by you Thomas, of Rick with all his chevrons, but I could not find it. It was impressive! as are these . One more question: are all chevrons shown here, from the American trade? (Are all Rick's chevrons from the American trade?)
If so, has anyone ever seen these special chevron colours in the African trade?
Thank you for sharing these excellent vacation photos

I am not speaking for Rick, but I believe that the great majority of his collection is N.&S. American found, some of these types went all over the world, of course

Everywhere I look in that picture, there is something astonishingly beautiful. The stonework landscaping is incredible, rivaling the masterly work of a handful of stone setters here in NH. Just beautiful. I have to stop raving now and take a break.

No red 3 blue layers agift from Marvin T. Smith. This bead is the bead in Marv and Mary Elizabeth's 1982 book on Spanish traded beads.

...during the years I have found similar singles in Morocco, with seven or eight layers...I´m dreaming of a technique in future, where you just scan a bead and on your monitor is shown, where it was at which time...when did these found their way to Africa...?

I have never been much of a chevron bead person. However, these are some amazing examples. Time to get out my Picard book on these again and some of the chevrons I have from mixed strands and study some more. Thanks for taking the time to show these!

Thomas, Obviously, the medium of photography is a completely different medium than bead making or landscape design. Your first portrait of Rick says it all -and creates a perfect introduction to your photo essay… The tiny rare chevrons would be so small in person, that (to most non chevron collectors) they would be hard-to-like without blowing up your images on our computer screens. And the context of the idealized "natural" landscape adds romantic drama to the wild dream of an early Venetian's Explorers' diaspora and his beads. Your photography facilitates identification with Rick's singleness of purpose. Thank you for your access, insight and vision into Richard Patterson's World of Wonders. Frederick
