250 Boxwood Rabbit Bead |
Acquired: May 2011
From: The Bead and Button Show, Milwaukee
Cost: $10
Notes: There's a name for these, hang on...ojime, that's what they are called--or rather, what they are inspired by. I like that they are tiny, pretty, carved sculptures. And now that I have both a dragon and a rabbit, all I need is a turtle, and my obsessions are filled.
My sister came with mom and I to the bead show this year, and the two of us went around together. We found two other booths selling ojime beads, both of which were more expensive. One of them, however, had X-rated ojime beads. Like, penises and women in dirty positions. We left that booth quickly. What would you even DO with a bead like that? I do not know.
