BEADS - (I'm puttiing them here because I don't know where else to put them)  To me, a bead is anything with a hole for stringing.  I was invited to participate and demo at a bead show at Pismo Art Glass in Denver, Colorado.  The following sre the results of my two weeks of trying to remember how to make a blown bead.  (Thank you Bandhu Dunham for teaching me how 9 years ago)  I did not want to make beads on a mandrel, so all of the beads here are mouth blown out of borosilicate glass. The beads have ribbon running through them, but I do carry sterling silver and leather necklaces that fit them well. 

The jeans, dresses, itty-bitty bikini, etc., are my version of a bead.  They fit well on a cable chain .
