There is one very special auction... it's a lampwork set that includes a hand-made (by me) Sterling Silver 'Swan', or 'Pelican', handformed clasp that has a matching lampwork bead incorporated into it. Check it out! :)

Nice kits. I especially like the vintage seed beads in the Africa set. Do the Goomba beads really date from 1700s? Or does 1700 mean something other than the date?

Yes, the 'Goomba' beads (Africans called them that) date back to the

1600's, and they were common to the fur trade in 1700's America. I bought up a LOT of these from a web site for $10 a strand when I was making a project. They came to me really dirty. So I washed the hell outta them and then I added a little bleach to the water. The bleach made the shiny exterior turn matte. Whoops. heh... It's a nice kit and worth more than twice what I listed it for. Thanks for asking, Peggy. :) Linda
