Detail & Features
These delightful pastel colored recycled glass beads are made in Ghana by the Krobo tribe using powdered recycled glass. They heat the glass powder and pour it into a mold, and shape the bead using a cassava leaf to swirl the glass around in the heated mold. The beads are then heated in an oven, where the glass fuses together, and the cassava leaf burns away. It's a fascinating technique that I have been lucky enough to witness. This is the same technique that has been used in Africa for centuries.
These have such a great earthy feel, and are a great shape for making jewelry. Individual beads measure 9-10mm. Their large 3mm hold makes them great for stringing on leather or other cords.
