Did the beadmakers that made the glass cores for Kiffas ony use jars and bottles? And, don't beadmakers in Africa even stick others beads such as greenhearts into molds for other beads such as the Akosos? I believe they even cook beads in Africa...no? So, I wonder your reasoning for saying it is "far more likely" my "little beads were formerly jars and bottles." Do the words "far more likely" always apply in a place where a bead is more valued if the core is showing such as with a bodom or where a bead such as a morfia is broken into pieces and distributed among family members? And, it's not that I mean to be argumentative...not that one shouldn't have a good spirited argument about one's passions...but, just to say is it really so hard to fathom someone crushing up a strand of beads that perhaps they do not find desirable. Funny, I was wondering how many people were aghast as I did wirework around my ancient eye bead shown in the "have you ever" thread. It may not have been the smartest thing to do..and I'm not really happy with that particular necklace. And, I know that in redoing it, should I cut the wire...I should proceed very cautiously.
