The beads in the cover photo are all ones I made last summer for my Ugly Skirt kit.  I am VERY pleased with how they turned out and am working on improving my skills in recreating very early glass beads.

The yellow bead with the double row of blue and white eye beads is one that caught the eye of a friend who centers her focus on Carthage and Punic history.  She asked me to make some for her and that started me researching additional beads for her kit. 

And then I realized that they are the very same beads I need for mine, including fan favorites like derpy rams and big fugly beads like the aqua ones in the photo below that I was playing with last week.  

At least it will be easy to make sure all of these experiments find homes!

    Iron Age Celtic Studies

    My first interest in historic costume and culture was for all things Celtic.  I knew so little about it three decades ago, but have been slowly piecing together things and am starting to build up a persona for the Iron Age in Central Europe.
