And here are a couple of random pictures of beads that managed to come home with me from Tucson!

On the multi-eye bead, all the crackling really shows up beautifully in the picture gives the bead a smooth etherial quality when you look at with the naked eye (about 24 mm).

And on the second -- is it Fimo or ancient glass? Ancient glass in this case. Any idea what those horizontal lines are...? They also aren't really visible unless you look carefully.

Cheers,
Abe
