Bead Kits

I have many passions, one being beads. I collect them wherever I go, always seeking out the unique, the most interesting, stones with special finishes or inclusions. I've been known to barter with Berbers in Morocco, commission raku in California and forage for stones in the Grand Bazarre in Istanbul.  My cup (bead drawer) floweth over. Time to de-stash.

These packs are compiled by color with a mix of accents perfect for embellishing knitwear or even for beaders looking for a special accent or two. Check here regulary as the offerings will always be changing.

TURKISH TASSEL SOLO

 

Turkish Tassel Solo

 

 

This tassel holds central court on the original cluster of three with the bottom two making up the Turkish Tassel Duo pack. This fellow does not have as much brasswork as the pair but does have the added hand-sewn blue beads along its top. All handmade and antique, it's a stunning addition to a shawl bottom or to so many other creative projects. Brass and cotton cording.
