Hello all
I'm really enjoying this group, and I've learned a great deal in my time lurking here. I'm de-lurking to ask a question about identifying types of beads.
I understand the rather obvious distinctions between lampwork glass, polymer clay and other beading media, but I'm not sure of the distinctions after that. Venetian? Millefiori? Wedding Cake? Is there an online resource that gives the definition and examples of each? I have some beads from the 1960's that I can't identify by type, and I'd like to learn what the different styles are called.
Books don't help, as this small town's library has not one single book on beads or beadworking.
Any info appreciated.
Thank you.
