Basha Beads

This is what happens when you track down the artist and place an order with only general guidelines as to shape and size. I left the rest up to Barbara to make what she saw fit. These beads were in today's mail and they are awesome.

They are her Greco Roman or Labradotite series beads and she did me a favor in making them as large as her method would allow. I almost hate to incorporate them into beadwork as individually and as a strand they are works of art all on their own.


Barbara Metzger is Basha Beads; lives and works in a beach town in Oregon. She doesn't have a web site, but does have a few pieces in an Etsy Shop.

Now I'm going to gloat for awhile . . . these are mine, all mine, at least for a little while.

Aren't they amazing beads?

  1. My first reaction was to notice how they looked like Labradorite, even before you mentioned the series name.

    Gorgeous, Judith. Just gorgeous.
