I got into the shop early today, and what can I say, our sweet Opalite beads just begged to be played with. The next thing I knew, I had a whole little flower and colorful background completed with 1900’s Venetian Trade Glass (the stem), Czech “lightbulb” beads from the 1920’s (the leaves), recycled “Ginger Jar” Java Glass (the 3 colors in the background) and Handwound “roller” glass from India (the blue and turquoise round beads in the background) (Beads used, $.75 - 16) #beads #flower #beadedflower #beadart #playwithyourbeads #funwithbeads #opalite #opalitebriolette #opalitebeads #czechlightbulbbeads #czechbeads #indianbeads #indianrollerglass #rollerglass #gingerjar #glassbeads #javaglass #java #indonesia #venetiantradebeads #venice #shop #nyc #unionsquare #art (at Beads of Paradise NYC)
