HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BEAD?
These beads are scanned from a magazine photo
(Beadwork, Summer 98 issue). I have identified them as "brown
agate drucks", but I'm also quite positive they have an AB
finish,
and are possibly matted. I have not seen these beads available
at
any store or catalog, but I'm positive they exist. I heard through
Beadwork's editor that the lady who made this project (Anne
Fletcher, who I'm unable to locate or contact) may have purchased
them at a bead show. I cannot find these beads ANYWHERE,
but I'm sure someone somewhere has some. I've seen them twice
now. They are not antique that I know of. They are almost definitely
Czech. Also, brown agate drucks without the AB finish are widely
available (Shipwreck, General Bead, etc.), I'm not looking for
those...
as I have some already.
If anyone can help me locate these beads, I would
be thrilled.
I've gotten letters from some retailers that claim they don't
exist, or that they only come in plain (not AB) finishes. It's
very clear to me that the above beads have an AB finish and that
is the exact bead I'm trying to locate. Thanks to anyone that
can help me locate this bead!
Oh, I'm looking for them in size 4mm to 8mm! (6mm preferred)
