Lampwork bone beads???

I've been seeing a lot of lampwork bones being sold on Ebay.What gives? A set recently sold for $900.00 and Pati Walton and other artists are making them and selling them at high prices. Does anyone know why or how this trend started? Is it because of all the animal print fabrics or because of the African shell and bone beads being popular? I'm puzzled. Patti

I'm not sure, really. I know that the seller right brain beads has been making bone beads for a very long time, now. Theirs used to be the only bone beads I saw on ebay, andeven though I loved them, I foolishly never bid on one when I had the chance to get it for cheaper than $200. I'll probably never be able to afford one of those bones, now.

Bones? They are selling bones for $900? Anyone know how to get some of these out of my body without doing too much damage? LOL.

Got a link? I would love to watch this unfold.

HEE HEE Becki. you have to be very careful you don't bleed out.

I have been wondering the same thing. Why all of a sudden all these bone beads. I like them OK, but don't see the appeal. As a lampworker, sure I have wanted to jump on the bone wagon, but really don't understand why they are so popular.

Becki, Check under sellers on Ebay - Pati Walton's seller ID is pati*walton. Check the box on the seller search page to bring up her past month's auctions and you can see some of the earlier prices. I'm really puzzled by these beads. Great to see you back.

Patti -- I went. I saw. I shook my head. Two thoughts came to mind:

1) I can't imagine them looking good strung up and 2) Only Pati Walton could make a bone look good. They were so Pretty! Weird allright.

The whole thing is beyond me. I'll see Pati at Bead & Button, I'm going to ask her. I'm sure Johnny will have an explanation for it, he has a great sense of humor and fun.
