[QUOTE="TanyaG, post: 4452914, member: 33418"]Hi, you guys! Hope Saturday is going swimmingly for you all. I know the photo won’t be much help, but I’m trying to figure out what these beads are made of. Some clues: - they’re heavy for their size - when they clink against each other, they sound like heavy glass - they have an odd texture; exceedingly smooth and buttery, like a high end leather jacket - they’re slightly cool to the touch - they’re all the same basic shape (I have a bunch more) but none of them are shaped perfectly - like lumpy lil footballs Last pic has a size reference - each square on the paper is 1/4”. The small ones really remind me of…. teeth. Any ideas? Thanks!
