Tree Bead Tuesday

I really need to do more to promote the talented glass bead makers that are trying to run a business on etsy. This isn't a conflict of interest since we all have our own styles.

So in that spirit, i'd like to share with you these cool and evocative tree beads that i came upon today in the etsy shop: OregonMistBeads.

As my printmaking instructor would say, these beads capture "the suchness" of trees. Another thing i like about these beads is that they weren't made in a bead press, and therefore the shape is more natural. And then, too, i'm real fond of dark ivory glass and how soft and rich it is. (Lots of floral beads in this shop, too.)
