Quick Bit of News

Just a quick update for those of you who are the least bit interested in all this lampwork stuff we do here.

A really cool bit of news just came across my feed. Ancient lamp-worked bead examples have been found in Siberia. There has never been another find like this! 17 glass beads on a single strand necklace found in the burial mound of a woman the archeologists think might have been a virgin priestess. Her burial site dates all the way back to the 4th century BC! In her time period these 17 beads would have been worth somewhere in the neighborhood of several DOZEN horses!
