Jewels: [Grandma's] Vintage Glass Beads

Now that I'm back and somewhat recovered from my trip to Vegas, I can start posting again!  I remembered I had these gorgeous vintage glass beads that belonged to my grandmother.  I could post pages and pages about that remarkable woman, but instead I'll introduce glimpses of her here and there.  A part of her lies in all the creative work I do.  These beads were all originally necklaces, but some have unfortunately broken.  However, I don't think that takes away from their detail and intensity of color.  I created some watercolor backgrounds that hopefully compliment and enhance their color.
