Galaxy Beads

  « Christina's Gallery Of Boro Beads

(Boro/Borosilicate/Pyrex Glass Beads)

Galaxy Beads These beads are one of my favorites types to make! They almost have a mind of their own when they are being formed. I figured out how to make them when I didn't have any dichroic around, and now they are some of my favorites! It's amazing what can happen when you run out of supplies! Lol.

These guys have a raven background with disco sparkle added for some twinkle. The opalescent blue is made from silver fumes, and real silver added for stars.

These guys remind me of rings around a planet, with an orbiting moon.

I have been working with glass for about a whole year now and have never worked with such a exciting medium. The colors of borosilicate glass and their reactions together continue to fascinate me. I can never have a bad day when I "play" in my studio!

Aside from making pieces out of glass, I also enjoy any other medium in art that I can get my hands on! Both of my parents are lost wax jewelers, and my dad has a lapidary and casting shop on the other side of town. I grew up in CA, with my parents doing art shows, which is where I first saw glass being blown.

For the past year I have been residing in Nevada, but am moving back to California soon! If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me. Also if you would like to purchase any of my work there is a link below to my ebay listings where you may do that!
