Telsums with side decor

Posted by Eva Baby on October 9, 2013 at 6:03pm

Hi Ingrid - after you showed us your telsum beads with the side decorations, I checked mine too. I found some! The round ones (breast) have non, also not the granulated ones (Tigray or Eritrea), but some of the rounded triangles and one with a complicated form........ I took a photo to see, but it was difficult. It never occurred to me before to look at the sides ! A good advice!

Hope I can give more hints or experiences in order that the better work gets its recognition it deserves.

@Ingrid, yes, thank you, that was a good advice. I never looked at the sides before! (Strange, but it just never entered my mind to look at them!). Most of the ones I have, have no decoration, but I was happy to find at least some few.
