Thanks Carl, I love it none the less :) So the black beads are Ghana powder glass? I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the difference between Kiffa and powder glass. Are the added colors on Kiffa more a part of the bead than the Ghana beads on which the colors are added to the surface (I remember someone telling me about "writing method" when I first came on the forum). Thanks again Carl, appreciate you taking the time to educate me.
