This Photography of part of my collection was made possible with the help of my friends Jim and Eva Barrickman, for the use use of their driveway; Farrell Clotz, owner of "Concrete Cutters" (Phone: 509-735-9804, Fax: 509-735-7479) for the use of the backhoe to lift the photographer high enough in the air to get this picture; and to my friend T.J. Buckley, a professional photographer (Phone: 509-585-0955, Email: tbuc9999@aol.com) which fortunately does not suffer from fear of heights. Many thinks to you all.

This book contains the text of my personal collection of beadword jewelry, which, at around 500 pieces, is the largest in the world. This is also the only book in history that was first written in colored glass and metal.

The text of each necklace begins with an asterisk. (*) Each necklace, while being made, was numbered consecutively. The number appears in parenthesis at the end of the text. Anything else in parenthesis is not in the text, but is there to help explain or identify the text. Everything out of parenthesis is just another one of Ted’s tirades.

Biography

At the end of a category might be a listing like: Cusco #7 #8 #9 #17 #24 USA #7. These are necklaces that relate to the category, but are not in my collection. They can be seen in my website under “Some of my work.” Then click to the page ( Cusco) then the number of the necklace (#7).

A necklace with “u.n.” after it means it was unnumbered because there wasn’t enough room left to add the number, and I didn’t want to re-string the whole thing. If there are two necklaces with the same number, it’s because of a mix-up in record keeping.

Texts in all CAPITALS are made in styles: TJ1 (Bugle beads), TJ2 (Braille), TJ3 (Series), or TJ5 (E-bead).

If you see something like “John 3:16,” or “Ecclesiastes 11:1,” or “2 Cor. 3:17,” it means that these texts are from the Holy Bible.
