Hi
I have a tendency to get obsessed with a type of bead and go out of my way to gather what I can of them. This is not a good hobby for my wallet but it is a lot of fun. My recent obsession has been with Venetian lampwork beads traded into South America. I thought I would share them with you hope you like them.

The Stepped beads are from SA the ovals are from the West African trade.

More stepped and some pulled pattern (feather)

I've not yet seen other green skunk beads like these I bought early this year. Or should they be called Thousand Eye beads? Or just Fancy? I've not seen them online, or the Picard publications and site. Your green and blue dotted beads are the closest I've seen yet. Thank you. Nice photos. Lovely collection.

Great eye beads you have there. They have a lot more eyes on them than the ones I have, very nice. Thanks for showing them.

My favorites assorted styles

Here are some strands all mixed. These are my favorite beads. I still don't know what I am going to do with them all yet but for now I am enjoying playing with them. Hope you have enjoyed the pictures.

I noticed the same seller. I'm very sure I bid on some of the beads in the photo. Once I figured out it was YOU, I gave up trying. They are much prettier in YOUR photo.

Thanks and guilty as charged :)

A great collection of fine beads Wayne. I also bid on several of the sellers early offerings, then backed off after I saw your BCN postings....

Thanks Jim my wallet appreciates it :)
