Beads - A brief history of all sorts of beads

[@dabickford]

THANK YOU!!!! I teach a fine craft class at a Southern Maine High School. Study of the history of beads is one of the craft choices. This is PERFECT! It is what I had them research in bead books and it is a perfect supplement for my class.

As an anthropologist I've been intrigued by the cultural significance of beads for a long time in different parts of the world. Since I also teach history this presentation is perfect as an introduction to global trade and cultural interaction for my students. Thank you for uploading!

Thanks, Janne. The information in my short video is largely based on the book, The Universal Bead, by Joan Mowat Erikson pubklished in 1969. When I came across this book, I was totally intrigued by the amount of information and her wonderful story telling ability; if you can find it, buy it!

very nice...succinct, yet informative...and the music was a nice touch.

really beautiful to watch....it perfectly expresses why I have been attracted to beads for years...the sense of aesthetics and calm they elicit can not be replaced...little else is so simple.

That was wonderfully presented, thanks!

How do I get the acrylic beads

[@BHClaysmith]

Sorry, there are no acrylic beads associated with this video; this is all about handmade clay and glass beads.

[@BHClaysmith]

I don't know which acrylic beads you are referring to...

[@jamey4beads]

I suppose that this video may get some people interested in beads. But then they will have to unlearn all the mistaken ideas, attributions, and poor terminology it also includes.
