Add this collection to your bead collection today and let your creativity run wild! OK, that's what eBay's AI has to say. Not too bad. But here's there real scoop. You are bidding on the bead collection used by the award winning bead artist, Christina Manes, to design the many patterns she has sold around the world. This huge collection of some 700+ different Miyuki Delica beads (and a few Toho Aikos as well) has been growing for over 25 years, right up until her passing this year. She started beading when she saw a small amulet bag in a store display, and later found a bead shop that gave classes. When she asked how to design her own, the teacher had no clue. So Chris got out the colored pencils and paper and started designing, and beading, and designing, and beading, until over the years she had sixty or more patterns for sale. You can find them at the A Muse Ink website (google it, eBay doesn’t like off-site links). She’s sold to people on six of the seven continents (still waiting for that Antarctica order.) Chris has displayed her work and sold her patterns at Rocky Mountain Bead Society and Bead Renaissance shows in the past, and won contests sponsored by Caravan Beads and by the Toho Bead company. You can see those winning pieces on the website. You’ll note there seems to be a dragon theme going on here. So you’re not just buying some beads, you’re buying beads that come with a history of creating beautiful works of art. What you’re getting: Over seven and a half kilos of beadsAbout 700 or so different beadsMost stored in clear 2x2x1/2 inch boxes. Most are labeled, some are mysteriesEach box has anywhere from a few beads up to about 20 gramsMany bags and tubes with varying amounts of beads, and a few bottles with the good stuff in them The quantity of beads in this collection is easily worth over $3000. The history of this collection, used by a top designer, certainly adds to the value. You never know, some of that creative spirit may have transferred to the beads themselves.
