Original Message: I've seen Bohemian spangle beads, too

Hi Carole, a while back there were a number of really interesting postings regarding lace bobbin spangles which I thought were fascinating so I started collecting them here and there. If memory serves (my bobbins are stashed away somewhere) almost half of the beads on the ones I've got are the square, dimpled, transparent red or clear variety that are homemade. I've also seen a lot of faceted Bohemian "Russian Blue" beads in all kinds of colors. Do you find many of this type on your bobbin spangles? In my very limited experience I'd say roughly 1/2 were homemade in the UK, 3/8 are Bohemian/Czech and 1/8 Venetian. Very interesting thread, thanks Fredrick! -Melissa Copyright 2024
