Today's bead is actually a chain of wooden links. These are beautifully crafted and described in the Rings & Things catalog as:Wood Chain, Disk and Loop (Ebony): Flat disk-and-loop wooden chain. Approx. 36x32x4.5mm flat disk links with 23mm round links form chain. 18-20 links per 14-16" strand. Links are solid and must be cut to come apart.
There is something contemporary about these beads and I am thinking, even though they are large, it would make a great impact as a necklace to be worn at a special occassion such as the Thanksgiving holiday meal.
It would certainly make great conversation!I also noticed that the large "O" could also be used to represent the Ohio State "O" emblem with a little scarlet and gray thrown in. As always, our imagination is our only limitation!
I mentioned the ebony strand of wood hearts in a blog post back in October when I saw them at the R&T's bead show locally. They are fabulous too!
I hope you are having a great day!

Oh I really like these!
These are great...so much you could do with these!
Cheers
I remember ebony wood from my stay in the Philippines. It was highly prized back then because it was so strong. I love these beads--so simple but versatile.
- Something contemporary for sure, plus (for someone as old as me) nice retro vibrations of the 70s. It's been fun seeing more and more wood necklaces, like this from India.
