Paula put some amber rough on the trade pages and said that if someone would make her a few beads out of it they could have it for free. I told her to send it out and I’d make some beads.

Got the amber and here are the results on the three different looks that were in th lot. I think that some of the “AMBER” was copal and not amber as it was so gummy when I worked it. The only piece that I think was amber is the translucent yellow piece. I was hoping that there would be and insect or two in the included piece but there were none.

The included bead measures 18.9 X 9.6 mm

The clear bead measures 19 X 11.7 mm

The yellow bead measures 16.9 X 15.5 mm

I am hoping that Paula will be pleased with her new beads.

All my best ............ Danny

The yellow one reminds me of fine Chinese beads and Japanese ojime carved of crane's crest or hornbill:

Oh, Danny, I wanted to be surprised when I the package arrives, so I'm trying not to look at the photos! I did sneak a peek and can't wait for the USPS to deliver.

Here's the group of rough material I sent to Danny.

Thank you again and enjoy using the rest of the amber for your own beautiful work.
Paula
