Original Message:   Thank you for showing these!

The bead industry in Indonesia remains shrouded in mystery for most of us. Russ brought up the interesting question...are they really using recycled old glass in their work? Wouldn't that bring compatibility issues into the picture? Anyway, I admire the tenacity of these artists and craftspeople. They are working on a smaller scale and in much more primitive conditions than China and India, of course. And much differently from Ghana......And, their work is aesthetically quite appealing. I really like their blue chevrons. Thank you, Jamey! Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
