Krobo blue powderglass short cylinders about 18x10mm on 25-inch Strand
Decorated with "eye" and stripe designs in amber, red and white on the blue base. This classic color combo was a favorite among the antique Venetian trade beads that inspired the Ghanaian glass bead-makers and remains a favorite today.
The most recent development in Krobo powderglass bead-making involves creating the base of the bead by filling a mold with pulverized glass, but applying the surface design as type of glaze. A paste of very finely powdered glass mixed with ceramic pigments and a little water is painted onto the beads with a small stick. A final quick baking fuses the solution to the beads.
