I have been lusting after a few more of these ever since you sold me the one I have...if you ever get tired of them...
Really great pictures, thanks for sharing!
The white disks are unusual and have been buried.
I generally prefer these short shaped beads to the long cylinders for designing- they adapt so well as coloured and patterned units with round ones and keep a necklace curved, while long beads tend to hang at an angle.
yet there are always more long beads than short ones...
They really are useful, aren't they? I find myself almost afraid to use up my little stash, they make such perfect junctions between curved millefiore and round beads...for example.
Shall we put on our ninja suits and make a raid on Carl the Bead Whale's stash?
Buwahhahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa....
We may _look_ like lovely sweet grandmothers, but watch out!
Ve Vant Your Beadz.
Hi Martine, that is a very good question and one I have not considered before. Now that you have made me think about it there seems to have been fewer of these beads available over the last forty years that I have been buying beads relative to other old Venetian beads. Quantities have been minimal when compared to Venetian millefiori, bicones, other fancies.....etc. Interesting.
...even if you canīt see it, when they are on a strand...Thanks for showing, Carl...!
Yeah, so nice. Love those pink and green. Thanks.
