These great beads are made by the Krobo People of Ghana, Africa. 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. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries. Shade of green may vary slightly from photo.
I am obsessed with all kinds of beads and I have never been as excited as I was to get these in the mail! They not only came within 3 days of me ordering them.. they were packaged nicely and none were broken.. I love the unique rustic feel they give off. Great in any home decor make over you plan on doing! I highly recommend :)
