Garnet beads

I had forgotten that I had some garnet-glass-with-gold-leaf beads sitting in my stash!  I had bought them in a burst of enthusiasm after seeing some in a bead store (along with some green ones that I have yet to use).  They will go perfectly, I think:

(Sorry about the blurriness; I didn’t like the effect of the flash and it wasn’t quite light enough to get a good photo without it.)

Can’t wait to weave it up!
