- Exquisitely exotic and detailed vintage Kathleen Dustin "Silk Roads" Collection bead
- Similar in size and shape to African trade bead elbows, 65mm long x15mm diameter
- Fimo artists worldwide adopted Millefiori techniques in their most interesting work.
- Like a rolled up Turkish carpet this lovely elbow bead is full of color and detail.
- Inspired by her time living in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, Kathleen translated the art and adornment of those regions into her Fimo creations. The new material was taking the US by storm in the 1980s. She discovered it in Germany and invented many of the techniques required for her work, and continues to create and teach at the highest level.
