at a vintage garments/textiles fair today i just spent on beads a total of UK £43.- that's USA $62.-
i got a loop of assorted japanese beads such as we discussed here not so long ago, plus 2 necklaces that may both be recently made chinese beads. The design of the tassel necklace is definitely not my taste whatsoever, but there are 6 handmade lampwork beads, and the other is a string (on elastic!) of 80 of the blue types decorated with trails and partly transparent possibly spiral millefiori rather small sizes- 8-10mm. on the japanese loop there are 2 double-faced heads of unglazed ? porcelain, i glazed pottery, 14 glass beads with fairly large holes, 4 of those slightly log-shaped beads of bone stained red to resemble coral, 6 round lacquered pottery beads, of which 2 have damage, 5 bone beads= 2 turned shapes with circle-dot decoration, an elephant, a hare,and a human skull, and 4 opaque agate or jasper stone beads, total 36 main beads, with small wooden beads between. i hope the photos do them justice! (also a 1950s booklet of patterns for bead embroidery onto frocks and gowns, for the Beadobilia category! not illustrated here...for another £12.-) All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
