Description from Mary - Sweet Chick: Quite a while ago Lima carried the large painted leather beads. Not knowing what to do with them, (they were huge!) they laid around in my stash for a looong time. On a whim, I made Christmas ornaments out of them with wire & various embellishments. Sold them right away! Just a thought...

Ragan B says:I thought about making a similar pick called “Easter Egg False Alarms.” You know when you are doing the egg hunt and you think you see one as you are scrolling by but it is really just a colorful round bead. Many of these would’ve been included.
But seriously, everything is quite lovely together and I have some of those leather beads too, which I should really do something with.
