[HNW] Laurel Bead Bashing (was: Elizabethan Embroidery Colors)

[Auna Oncay]

Yes it is a good idea, how long did it take to get a reply?  This is
something that I might keep in mind for future beading projects.

The suggestion to contact the museum is a good one. I have had luck on two

a good place to turn.
