FREE: Huge lot wood beads and metal pieces

The listing, Huge lot wood beads and metal pieces has ended.

Like all beaders I guess, I have a huge number of beads I hang onto but don't love. Nothing wrong with 'em; in fact, my family is somewhat aghast at my choices. But even beads need love, right? I decided to take Listia's destash challenge and see if I can trade these in for beads that will make my eyes sparkle as well as my jewelry.

This is the wood and metal lot; put together to make sure it was a really big lot (don't you hate it when people say "huge lot" and then you find out it's 3 items?).

I'm something of a newbie so there's a lot I have left to learn, including identification of beads by type, shapes, sizes, etc. Feel free to email with any questions and I'll do my best to answer. Some of the metal seems coated to me - I'm gonna have to list this as is without trying to guess too much.

Good luck with your bids and make sure to check out the four other de-stash listings this week!

A little unusual request here: some of these credits will go toward finding the perfect beads for a rosary for my friend {Michelle}: please join me in praying for her. If you need religious jewelry and can't afford it, let me know.
