Happy Economy to you! money and art beads MICHIGAN CATCH UP!

What goes into the Glass ART BEAD.  Why do we pay hundreds of dollars for art beads? What are they really worth?
That is subjective, and I am not going to tell you what it is worth.   You have to figure it out. Is it based on your cost of living, or mine? HM!
Glass Beads are made with [...]

Implosions made into a pendant with glass

 An implosion is a beautiful discovery. Getting the colors to explode into the center, creating this beautiful fire work/floral design. Absolutley inspiring! The backing color is VERY important.
