Night Blooming Orchids

This bead is made with translucent alabaster glass that makes light appear to glow from within the bead. The background is black with red flecks and a strand of bright pale blue streaming around it. It is encased in a very thin layer of clear glass and then a single white and red orchid plant is on the surface. I usually put more flowers on the backs of my floral beads, but the background of this bead looks so stunning that I wanted to leave it as it is.
