What’s interesting about Ancient Roman glass is the variations in color. Some are perfectly clear, while others have strange patterns in varying shades of brown and white. Many of them look matte, but in fact the surface is very smooth - the “flaws” are within the glass, not on the outside. I decided to use this as an advantage, and I started by sorting out my beads by color, then matched palettes to each group. So far I’m loving how they look with simple beadwork.

DeleteJust finished several pieces and spent most of yesterday sorting thru my stash of finished pieces, packing them up in labeled boxes so they will be easy to find when I set up my booth at the National Handcrafters Festival in Silver Dollar City near Branson, Mo this September. Now to get some more bead embroidery done.
ReplyDeleteShow prep can be a lot of fun. The trouble is making time to undo all the prep when you get home. I still have to reorganize after my last show! Best of luck with your sales.
