Actually, I collect very few beads other than the ancient Asians that I think I need for my research into early trade patterns in Southeast Asia. The only exceptions are some kiffas - thanks to TASART who got me hooked - and the occasional Art Seymour creation. Here's my personal favourite - one of his signed jazz beads (33.5 mm, 18 points, 8 layers). Every time I look at it, I marvel at how perfect it seems to be, and at the same time how full of fun.

Thanks, Art!
