How would YOU display them? How DO you display them?
I haven't actually gotten around to completing this yet, but my idea for displaying my beads (I have some really beautiful ones from Tink that will be just perfect for this) is a "bead tree". I make hangers for my beads (that can also double of pendants if I want to wear them), and then I can put them on a tree to match my mood. I have an Easter tree that I got from Hallmark (meant to display theit miniature ornaments), and a tiny Christmas tree so far. Does this make any sense to anyone? Just my 2 cents, Mandy |

That's a heck of an idea Mandy. I think I will have to incorporate that.

Wow! That sounds like a great idea! When you do it, make sure you post
pics for us, ok? Tink On 13 Feb 2004 02:47:00 GMT, (RadioStmpr) wrote: How would YOU display them? How DO you display them?

Now I want a hibachi table. I'm going to ask my friend's mother if she'll
bring one back or have one sent to me when she returns to Japan. What do you think about rice in the bottom with the beads on display? I can cut the glass --- no problem. I have plenty of sheet glass around. |

I just found some cute shadow boxes in the dollar store - I think it was
Dollar Tree, but they all run together somehow. They are unfinished wood (probably balsa) with hinged lids. The lids have a plastic sheet in them - possibly could be replaced by glass. -- Vibrant Jewels Online Bead & Jewelry Store http://www.vibrantjewels.com/jewelry/welcome.htm Karleen Page/Vibrant Jewels JustBead Auctions http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=21770 PayPal Merchant Account https://www.paypal.com/mrb/pal=7XJ98L86Z7S2C "Margie" wrote in message ...

I was thinking of putting some of my best ones in a small shadowbox type frame. I think I'll mount them on peyote stitch of single-color, matte 11s covering the entire back surface. My mother used to collect thimbles. She had all manner of shadow type boxes, some nothing more than cubicles and others more elaborate with glass, some even had glass doors that opened for close viewing and fondling pleasure. Hey, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. LOL Something along those lines? I'll have to run it past dh who is very clever and creative in the framing department. psst....mirrors.... Off to surf the web, I'll report back if I find anything interesting. -- Margie http://snurl.com/2u8t http://www.handcraftedjewelry.com/st...asp?userid=261 |

AKA While You Were Out or Trading Spaces - in some of the shows they made
coffee tables with a space to put stuff in under glass. It would be really cool to make one with sections and a hinged lid, maybe lit underneath - think a frosted plexiglass - so you could enjoy the beads every day... plus it would be easy to change them out. I've always wanted one like that I could put shells and collectables in. I'll wait though until the grandkids get older so they won't be tempted to "break in" or use the coffee table for wrestling matches! -- Vibrant Jewels Online Bead & Jewelry Store http://www.vibrantjewels.com/jewelry/welcome.htm Karleen Page/Vibrant Jewels JustBead Auctions http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=21770 PayPal Merchant Account https://www.paypal.com/mrb/pal=7XJ98L86Z7S2C "Margie" wrote in message ...

Oh, no, Margie -- I'm not asking for help. I'm trying to spark discussion and sharing. I know exactly what I'm going to do. (Mirrors are way too distracting) You are right! I was looking and oh my...am I the only one that finds some of the curio cabinets tacky? I did see one I liked that is made from rosewood, an open table top design, I liked the feeling of space. Table top won't do in this house. Not all beads lend themselves to sitting properly. How will you do that, Sooz? -- Margie http://snurl.com/2u8t http://www.handcraftedjewelry.com/st...asp?userid=261 |

The real ones are very heavy, and back in 1990 were running about $600 for the "antiques" (pre-WWII) that were being brought back from Korea. Mind you, this was through the military wives' clubs and/or the PX, so most were being shipped to Okinawa via military transport at very low cost, and there were no import duties or taxes on them. The ones in need of a lot of refinishing were about $300-400. The flimsy reproductions were about $200, and were a lot lighter. Kaytee "Simplexities" on www.eclecticbeadery.com |
