If I'm not badly mistaken, today is Joyce's birthday!

Happy Birthday and thanks once again for keeping the BCN "flame" alive, despite all odds!

This picture is of recently made beads from the Venetian workshop, Scogliamiglio Umberto Veneziana aka the "SUV". This bead maker uses glass and cane saved from the 1940s, so many SUV beads can be mistaken for their near relations from 75+ years ago (or so). Check out their website https://beaperla.com to see more of their work. Note- I just checked their website and it's down for maintenance...
