PAGE 4 of wooden booklet ...


...8 to go!
 The droplets are real glass beads.
 I bought them in a little shop in my hometown. 
They were made by prisoners in the second world war somewhere in Asia. The shop-owner received it as a gift from an old man, and he had told her that he has been making them during the war.  Handmade!

To get them to reflect the light I adhered them to aluminium tape. Aren't they pretty?

I am entering this in the challenge on :
