After reading Art's recent post about his culls, I thought it would be nice if everyone that has a special Art bead or more that they would like to share ............ Lets start a thread.

Suzi and I have an incredible collection of Art's wonderful beads that we love sharing with people when we have guests that have never seen his work, we always get plenty of oohs and awes and the people leave with a true appreciation of Art’s special talents.

If you have an Art bead or beads to share please post it. The bead I am posting is one of my favorites and came to us the first time I met Art, after many hours of talking and looking into the wee hours of the morning Art got out “Pandora’s Box” which had mostly very large beads, this bead was so wonderful I just had to have it.

This bead measures 67 X 29.5 mm 2.64X1.16 inch

All my best ............... Danny

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!

Will

Even the least expensive...

Art's jazz beads cost a bit (and are worth every penny) but the least expensive are in different ways just as accomplished. I gave this candy striped cane to one of my daughters-in-law for Christmas. Here's a picture of it releasing energy from an Angkor Wat period carving of an apsara (a heavenly dancer), with a frozen Canadian lake in the background. She loved the bead, and also the framed picture of Art's fingers which she now keeps on her work table.

Hmmm...I hope, this counts...I have shown these a while back - the cane was made by Art and given to Joy and she sent it to me with our traditional "Bead Swap", then I cut and ground the cane into beads (9mm in diameter)...and I still love them!
