These sunfaces, inspired from an old wood carving, are great bases
upon which to start a project. They have a hole top to bottom through
the edge of the 1/4 to 1/2" thick surface, which will allow wire
up to about 20 gauge to go through. We have many versions and colors
available. The edges have been sanded and on some a hole has also
been
made from left to right, not all the way though, but just deep enough
for an eye pin to anchor beadwork. Sun/Moon face bead cost is
$5.50 each or 6 for $30 plus shipping.View

Sculptural
Sun faces
These are similar from the sun faces above and cast from the same
wood carving. In this case I have left some of the rays on them
and textured them to give the a unique look. Some have a hole top
to bottom through the edge of the 1/4 to 1/2" thick surface, which
will allow wire up to about 22 gauge (possibly even 20 gauge) to
go through. We'll be glad to try and get within the color family
you request, but cannot guarantee how many rays are showing or how
they show.
