Re: Wobbly Old Beads -- beadiste | Post Reply | Edit | Forum | Where am I? |
Also included are other beads that were in this bunch. Under the microscope's fiberoptic light, the "black" glass is actually a deep cranberry, especially apparent on the plain barrel and the last-mentioned drip bead, where the fiberoptic reveals the glass to be translucent - you can see the white swirls inside and outside.
So - old swirl beads re-melted to imitate old folded glass, or manufactured to imitate old folded glass right from the get-go?
