Original Message:   Even plastic can have great character

I think your old cracked beads have great character, even if they are plastic of some sort. It seems to me, the more complex a bead, the worse it looks as it wears, but simple beads of any material - stone, glass, copal, plastic - gain character as they show the cracking, chipping, crazing, and discoloring testifying to their long use. I'd rather have old cracked plastic beads like yours than shiny new copal. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
