A beautiful mixed media bracelet that pairs handmade ceramic beads with glass beads from Africa.
These great beads are made in Ghana. Powder glass beads are made by crushing glass to a fine powder and heating it so that the particles fuse together. The glass is then poured into clay molds, with a cassava leaf stem used to make the hole. They are baked in an oven and the glass fuses and the cassava stem burns up. (The Bead Chest)
