Above: My (slowly) growing Anne Choi bead collection. "Smell my owl!"You know how they say, "You can't buy love." Well, I love my Anne Choi beads. And I probably would love anyone who bought me more. Whether I liked the person or not, I think I might be too busy polishing my dragon horde of beads. So, I guess in this case, you can buy love.
*Update: I just purchased a Chicken Little bead to add to my collection! I'll take a picture and post it when it gets here.

yes, they are startlingly beautiful. you have a huge collection. the ones you have are wondrous. every bead she has is mystical. I have a large boxlike one shaped like a trapezoid upside down. I have it in a special place. I was planning to wire a large blue topaz from the bottom, but this was ages ago. Now, I am not sure how I would work with it. when I find it, I will tell you what it says on it, exactly.
Cynthia has even a bigger collection than mine. But she's been collecting them for longer than I have. Mine is a fairly new collection... maybe a year or two old. She also has a few that are of a limited edition quality with stones and other metals set in them.
I wish that I had more. They're really spectacular. I love her mandrake root ones and then there is this one that has a quote from Francis Thompson that I covet.
It's like what Tony the Tiger said, "They're great!"
spectacular....anne's beads. you have quite an impressive display here....i have a "collection" of about 7. i keep them in a little bowl and admire them from time to time. she is amazing. they also make a very sweet sound when carried in a little cloth pouch.... :-)
Hey Paula! I keep mine in a magic box that keeps them hidden. I used to keep them in a small bamboo box that my Numi tea came in, but soon the box was too little. Now I keep them secretly and safely hidden away with with my Candice Wakumoto beads - another really fabulous artist.
Whenever I don't know what to do and am a little in need of mental space, I take them out and look at them. Sometimes I polish them, but I like the dark patina. So, I mainly just fondle them.
Thanks for the plug! (Speaking in my "I'm the Anne Choi Business Manager" voice.)
You have more Anne beads than even I do!!!! Such fun...
Hey Lynn,
It's my pleasure! (Speaking in "the devoted fan" voice.) :-)
I love them so much. They are sort of like an obsession for me. A good and healthy obsession, mind you. I look forward to adding more to my dragon's horde!
When is Anne going to make an owl bead?
That's a secret that Anne holds dear!
But I would guess maybe within 4-5 years -- not much help, huh? But I'd be in trouble if I dared say more....
Ha ha ha! Thanks for the heads up, Lynn. I guess there are somethings that are just worth the wait. This being one of them. :-)
