Oohhh. I don't know much about beads myself, although there is a  
little bit of info in the Florilegium. But if anyone writes up  
documentation on their beads for this "most period bead" portion of  
the contest, I'd love to consider the documentation for inclusion in  
the Florilegium, so that I, and other folks ignorant on period beads,  
of any material, can learn more.

Even if you don't win the contest, that doesn't mean that your  
documentation wouldn't be of use to others. And my standard policy is  
that I will accept updates at any time, so you can later improve your  
documentation as you learn more, or even replace it with an article,  
if you wish. And I can handle photographs if you have permission to  
use them or you are using them under 'fair use' copyright provisions.

Thanks,
    Stefan
