Hello All.

I was digging in the "Galleries" and found this photo of my only Venetian tabular bead from the early 1900's. I do not really care for "tabular" beads because I always think Aw...why did they ruin that beautiful bead by "squashing" it. This bead looked at me and said I see you!" So I took it home gave it bath and looked at it and said I see you too! 25mm X 9mm with an irregular 3mm hole.

Enjoy.
Sincerely
Thomas Mercer

I like the "gooseberry" filler beads - great choice!

Thanks, I had to come up with a way to get more chevrons up front, so a two-strander was my solution. Love the little gooseberries.

Modern repro "gooseberries", that is.
