Camera Type: Panasonic DMC-LZ7 Lumix 7.2 MP
Editing: Edited in PhotoShop 7.0 for color accuracy, size, and to apply copyright and border.

Location: Photograph taken at the 2007 Fall Bead Bonanza Show in Southfield, Michigan.

Description: There were thousands of different types of beads for sale at the show. Seen here is a selection of some of those beads. Each bead was calibrated and strung. Some of the beads in this picture are glass but most of them are stone. Carving a stone bead can be difficult depending on the type of stone. Many times stone beads are carved by by hand, one at a time, using various drills, cutting machines, sanding machines, and polishers. The process can be quite labor intensive.
