Original Message:   Re: Boshan beads

These, from the Summerfield collection, are a departure from the above. The colors are vibrant--not muted or black--and the frames impinge on the eyes in a few locations rather than frame them... However, they do have the requisite swirling frames (rather than dabs) and the starbursts looks like eyelashes with way too much mascara. These beads and the first example seem to stray from type, as described by Beadiste above.

I was really rather dazzled to see these beads from the Summerfield collection displayed by Jamey Allen in the ballroom with the Ethnographic Group. What a splash of color! I will knot them simply on black cord. Approx. 12mm x 12mm. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
