I found this very interesting,the use of cassette case plastic & colouring to make a wonderful amber looking bead, I'd buy some from him,to a good cause help him out,but Id also be concerned for this mans health through the burning process, the plastic's vapors from this could very well be cancerous causing and detrimental to his health sadly..

I appreciate the instruction.  Since I have several of these loose beads in a drawer, and others on necklaces, I have often wondered how they were formed.  Some of mine are quite irregular and look as if they are made of an opaque powder made in part from the North African resin amber -- perhaps.
