About this design:
Little pressed glass trilobites look like they have just been chisled out of a rock somewhere, so I made sure to add natural stone beads to keep them feeling at home.
Components:
Pressed Czech glass, Red Jasper, other stones but I don't know what they are, assorted glass beadsRead the comments (or add your own)
