Description
- New individually handmade recycled glass beads from Ghana, round approx 14-15mm, aqua/clear mix
- 23-inch strands with 47 beads
- Perforations are about 2mm
- The beads have a distinctive hand-made quality, with lots of variations.
- These are yet another form of powder glass beads, made by the Krobo people of Ghana.
- The process of making the round beads is a little different: once the powdered glass in the mold starts to melt it's removed from the furnace and each bead is stirred into a more or less round shape.
- The Krobo have traditionally been great consumers of beads and today they are probably the most prolific makers in Africa, coming out with new designs almost every year.
