I truly dont want to sound “uneducated” in the name of the beads, but I purchased these so long ago, that I dont really remember what they were called. We have a huge craft store 10 minutes from us. It is called Pat Catan’s and originated in Sharon Ohio, then branched out into 12 different locations. It is a discount craft store that is very comparible to Michael’s craft store but much,much,much cheaper. Needless to say, I am there at least once a week. sry chickies, didnt mean to let you all down.

that’s ok – it would be helpful just knowing if they are stone, ceramic, glass…

Ty all for the complements on the piece & pics. The 3 focal beads in the front are stone, the rest of the beads used are glass beads. I will let you all know how saturdys show goes! Hopefully it will be a good one.
