Here’s the result of the beaded bone bezel beads below; this is sort of a folk art rendition of a Laura McCabe design. Take irregular bone beads (18mm across), bezel and join them as instructed, and you get a 30mm beaded bead. This is too big for me to wear, so it’ll be a desk decoration. It could be a fan pull, but I don’t want to risk anyone actually pulling on it. There’s more than a little tension on this, mostly because of the irregularity of the shape.

Very cool, Dulcey! It looks like it would be heavy enough for a paperweight.

Brava, Dulcey! It turned out great! I think I’d make some matching bazeled bone beads for a rope and wear it even if it’s a bit large. I love it!
