Krobo Recycled Glass Beads Yellow with Teal, Brown by SoulofSomanya

< p class="price "> 6,00 USD These bright Krobo beads in yellow with a pattern in teal and brown were hand-painted by among Ghana’s gifted beadmakers. Their typical size has to do with 7x12mm with big holes (in between 2mm and 2-1/ 2mm). Like most Krobo beads, these are made from recycled glass ground up by hand in a large mortar and pestle, and after that fired using conventional methods, i.e. fired with wood in homemade termite-clay molds and kilns and after that hand painted, with a second shooting after the glazes have dried.
