«Take something old ans turn it into a nifty new bead. That's the idea behind Cathy Collison's bottle cap beads, which are one-of-a-kind treasures made by doming two vintage or modern bottle caps and fusing them together with lead-free solder. Cathy finds the caps on eBay or, as has been happening more and more lately, people send her caps they can't bear to throw away. Find them at www.glassgardenbeads.com».
