beads

Thanks Midzing

The swastika was originally an ancient symbol before Hitler took it (he was very superstitious).
I am assuming that the pre WWII meaning applies here.

Keeping that in mind, they are very pretty beads and a wonderful photo!

Nice find alistair! Great shot.

Thanks Rowan ,its how i found them in the bowl never notice the design at first, their indian beads,its the origanal Hindu design with four dots in the centre and meams “Well being” either that or there’s lots of little neo nazis girls making earrings and bracelets around Margrets River.

Thanks Sylvia

nice work

Thanks Antanas

Great composition and use of colour, well done.

Thanks again TJ

Great shot, Alistair. I love beads, and you have captured them beautifully.

Alistair – you live in Margaret River – you lucky son of a gun! I love this photo, my eye went straight to it with all the lovely lolly colours and sparkle from the light reflection. I scrolled throught the comments wondering if anyone would have picked up about the swastika being a religeous symbol of the Hindu and it looks like it was. Think I’ll have to put you in my watchlist since you have such a great portfolio of work.

Carmem,unfortunately i don’t live down at Margaret River just on holidays, found the beads in one off the shops there! and thanks for the comment to.

Fabulous shot

Thanks Jeff

Very cool shot. I like the DoF. It draws the eye to that red bead.

Beading, hmmm, a friend of mine tried to get me into that – I declined as I didn’t want my eyes to deteriorate any further – then I luckily discovered Red Bubble! Gorgeous beads! =D
