The antique look is captured in this set of barrel and round scrolls beads. On a base of CiM Canyon de Chelly, the glass was gently fumed when the DH Ekho was reduced to bring the shimmering metallic glow to the surface.
The Ekho glass has an opalescent quality that is different than the metallic shine of Double Helix's other popular glasses, Aurae and Triton.

Pocahontas - the American Princess
Tiara Series #14
Materials: CiM & Double Helix Glasses
THIS SET IS NOW SOLD
"Princess Matoaka, also called Amonute was born in 1595. She was a daughter of Wahunsunacock, also known as Chief Powhatan, who ruled an area encompassing almost all of the neighboring tribes in the Tidewater region of Virginia.
'Pocahontas' was a childhood nickname referring to her frolicsome nature; in the Powhatan language it meant "little wanton". In her last days she went by the name Rebecca Rolfe.
Many believe that she saved the life of Captain John Smith from being killed by her father. Later she warned the English colonists at Jamestown of a planned Indian ambush. She also helped in the dealings between the colonists and her father, Chief Powhatan.
The life of Pocahontas has formed the basis of many legends. Her story became the source of much romantic myth making in the centuries following her death and is very important in American history. On the other hand, Americans of European descent regard Pocahontas as a savior of their own race and a fore-mother of the United States."

Well my vacation to my torch ended on Sunday, so Monday morning I was back at the computer working on my IT dayjob duties.
The week away from the office was refreshing, unfortunately, it rained all week and now it feels like September outside here in New Brunswick. I am hoping it warms up by this coming Saturday as my daughter is very excited waiting for the Paul McCartney concert in Halifax. She has been a big fan for so many years!
I wanted to share the other bead set photos just recently closed and sold on ebay.
Enjoy and have a good week!
