I'll show some of the scans of stuff I got at Tucson last week. Not the whole bag-o-beads, because I OUGHT to be paying attention to my computer issues right now..., but I couldn't resist playing for a while. (I just got a new Mac, and my partner is antsy to get files transferred and the new machine running. Once we get involved in that, it may be a day or two of debugging, downloading, and formatting, before I can get back online again—so best to do this now anyway.)

So, in no particular order, here are some of the interesting things I managed to lug home.

Let's begin with these two bracelets of Chinese agate eye beads, I bought from Abdul Touray. These are made for the fake-Tibetan-antiquities-market, cost little, and can be very attractive. Many of you know I LOVE this stuff (but work hard to counter the misrepresentation). Several people in my group had bought similar bracelets elsewhere, each slightly different in color or shape. I can see they were popular with lots of people.

Needles to say, I will figure out how to make these into a two-strand necklace....
