This bead starts with a base of white, encased in shades of topaz, then it is encased in clear. I then draw on the willows, water line in black glass and the birds in white. This reminds me of the Egrets and other birds who stand in the shallows and fish.
The specs: Height (hole to hole): 33 mm Diameter: 17mm Bead hole: 2.5mm
I handcraft each glass bead in my studio with a torch and immediately put it into a digitally controlled kiln to stabilize or anneal the glass. Annealing usually happens overnight.
