Also, it's always interesting to me to compare the work of various groups from around the world, marveling at the connecting threads and the differences.

Very fascinating to see a whole other *genre* of beadwork.<br /><br />And don't worry too much about the photos being perfect or absolutely true to color because we, out here, reading with rapt attention, do not mind at all. If it makes you feel any better, some of the most awe inspiring images of antiquity I've seen were done in less-than-optimal conditions, on site in tricky locations [bead shroud on a mummy, for instance]. Not worth making yerself crazy over, I'd say ... and faaaaaaar too much work - we'll love whatever you put here!!<br /><br />Thanks for the swell show & looking forward to more ;>]]Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-84399105008693541272014-04-28T19:10:05.563-07:002014-04-28T19:10:05.563-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-23408725843448143562014-04-28T19:07:54.738-07:002014-04-28T19:07:54.738-07:00Nice to hear from you, Bobbi!

Sorry about that...<br /><br />Glad you like the beadwork! I like the color combinations too. I always wonder if there is particular meaning, or (like in Eastern Europe) it's the only colors available to them... probably a combination of both. My love for opaque beads probably stems from all the beautiful ethnic beadwork I've seen, most of which (at least in the past) is devoid of bling beads and transparent beads.
