Afflecks beads

I had a wander round Afflecks today. Afflecks (or Afflecks Palace as it used to be called) is a collection of quirky independent shops in a building that was once a department store, in Manchester City Centre. http://www.afflecks.com/

It's a bit of a Manchester institution now. There are shops selling vintage clothes, trendy stuff, fancy dress, crystals, piercings, goth & emo clothes .. and beads!

Cool! Looks good in B&W!

like the b&w processing

[Phil Howcroft]

reminds me of a noughts and crosses board Sarah, nice use of B/W and very abstract

@eosin @angievega @catwhiskers Thanks - all the 'beads' were silver, so it was almost b&w already :o)

@ralfb @cgould Thank you, thank you! :o)

@phil_howcroft Yes, I thought that - especially as a few of the beads look like 'noughts' and the ones in the bottom left compartment are crosses! :o)
