1 Inch Brass Tube Bead Pairs

just slightly less than 1″
inside opening diameter 1/4″

Lustrous color and the metallic glints of texture make me think of antique silks from faraway places when I look at these. I start with 2″ brass tubes and either give them a patina or electro-etch a design into them and finish the beads with alcohol ink, lots of sanding and a coat of krylon sealer. Then either way, we saw them in half!
