Many BCN members may have attended and/or presented in the Recursor del Sol(sp?) Bead Conferences in Santa Fe in the 80's (?). It's all hazy because I did too many beads back then. Jamey Allen presented, and hooked me as a bead pusher-yes, you dude, and I know u are out there lurking. There were two subjects that stuck with me; the "Hubble" bead and the"Aggrey "bead as enigmas. Peter Francis later came to Denver and viewed a woman's collection of Hubble beads and surmised they were all fake. I did the search engine on these beads and didn't find anything. I did find some information on the Aggrey bead from Tazart but I still don't have a grip on it. So, when I recently visited Matt aka Beadbox, and he showed me Willis' Hubble beads, it piqued my interest. They looked and felt right so I bought two groups. LOL! When I was stringing beads tonight I found I already had a Hubble bead that has been tossed around as a "I don't know what the heck this bead is so keep it." It is the barrel bead in the picture. Any thoughts on these beads? They weren't cheap but weren't expensive either.
