OSTRICH EGGSHELL BEADS from AFRICA!

A FUN NEW AFRICA ALBUM IS UP ON THE SITE..CLICK HERE!!

THE SAGA OF THE OSTRICH EGGSHELL BEADS!

This was a fun little demo to photograph to show you just one example

of the process some of my vacation “finds” go through before I even get

to play with the beads in design work.

I thoroughly enjoy every step taken in preparing the beads to use as this

“hands on” cleanup brings me all that much closer to the maker of the beads.

Be sure to take a moment to check out this website below to see how the beads

are made BY HAND by the women in Africa.

    THANKS Sherrie!!!! I am having a blast but just wish I could do jewelry 24/7!!! I have never had such a hectic year but manage somehow to fit a few hours a day into my glass and design work.

    BTW..Akoya is looking just adorable! What a beautiful head that little puppy has
