Well what 's so cool about beads , you ask ? Well these particular beads are black glass off a ruined Victorian handbag , and the white ones , from the same handbag , are clear and lined inside with silver . The leaves , of which you can only see one , I have no idea why , there are actually eight of them and they are black not whatever shade of pink that is , are stamped tin from a piece of costume jewelry from the 1930 's . The moral of the story is you can make really cool stuff out of bits of trash scavenged from second hand shops .
