They’re hobby lobby special beads, although I think the dark ones are hematite, but don’t hold me to that. I recently unearthed these and they’re just sitting around collecting dog hair.
Hehe I’ve brought my pliers out too… but for different jewelry and belts and such. I need to sell what’s left of my rings but they are worth more in finished form.
Those look nice (though I can’t tell if the dark beads are hematite or not) and I hope you have luck selling them.
