I live in Central Washington State and we generally have great weather here in Central Washington. Summers are warm and sunny and spring is just right. We usually have a little snow in the winter but this year was more like fall all winter! Since Glass beads were used for trading purposes and to identify a person of stature in society, glass beads become intricately woven into our world.
Native Americans used beads as adornment and many beautiful works of art can be found adorning clothing worn for ceremonial purposes. Most beads used were tiny glass seed beads and were sewn into the garments to become part of the actual fabric structure. Bone and other types of materials were also used to accent the look. Glass beads as a trade element were highly prized and used to trade for furs and other items.
Handmade Art Glass beads have also made their impact around the world. This is not a new idea either as the art of lampworking has been around for thousands of years and some interesting antique beads have been found.
