    I have been working directly with Peruvian families for over 30 years. I have had so many exciting times in the Andes of Peru. Sadly the tradition of making these beads has dwindled with the artist who have painted these exceptional beads turning the hands to other trades and industries.and other factors are that the clay used is also scarce these days.and also cheaper machine made versions coming in fro the Far east. Suitable for use in Jewellery making ,crafts and even for use as hair braider's. When I first visited the region way back in 1985 almost every family was involved some way or another in the making or painting of the beads. These days one has to search pretty hard to find anyone still in this tradition. By buying these beads you are helping to preserve this dying industry. Please enjoy these wonderful beads. Take a look in our site for probably the best range you can find Brand new SKULL designs have just arrived they are just perfect for the festival season. http://strores.ebay.co.uk/wicked_visionsbyetnico

    There has been much talk recently regarding the electric cigarette that has been put on the market. should these be sold openly in shops and stores? surely these must be preferential to tobacco. Although I have never tried them or do not have the need as I do not smoke. However I have recently been bombarded with orders from traders of the e cigarettes purchasing my natural hemp twine used for the wick in the e cigarette. The natural hemp twine with a thickness of 2mm appears to be the prefered thickness. the hemp does not have any wax surface and is 100% natural and 100% Bio degradable. Off course this hemp twine is also perfect for beading,craft projects and many other uses. check it out at http://strores.ebay.co.uk/wickedvisionsbyetnico
