My Top Ten Focals of 2007!

Posted by Naos Glass on 12/6/2007

The year is almost over and I thought it might be interesting to go through my year of work and pick out the focal beads I thought were my personal best. My criteria were technical aspects as well as color-use and just if I liked it a lot. LOL Please feel free to comment on my choices. :)

#1 Shelter This one is on my business card! In my opinion, it's not only the best Tree Of Life totem I have created, it is the best bead I have ever made. 400 x 400 px (54 KB) 0 Comments		#2 Galaxias I've spent many frustrated days in the studio because I cannot reproduce this effect. :( 425 x 425 px (54 KB) 0 Comments

Sick of mass-produced beads? I make top-quality glass beads by hand, one at a time. Discover the difference! My name is Amber Van Meter. I have created high-quality artisan (lampwork) beads for over nine (9) years now. I specialize in the use of powdered enamels and silver with glass. I also have over sixteen (16) years of experience in jewelry design and silver work. You may have seen my artisan beads on eBay, WetCanvas, BeadArtists.org, Torch Bugs or Lampwork Etc. My art is also listed on my website - Naosglass.com. My beads are handmade by me. They are thoroughly inspected for flaws or defects. I properly kiln-anneal them to reduce the possibility of breakage due to internal stress. The beads are clean and ready for your use as soon as you receive them. Most importantly, all of this means my beads are not mass-produced and are of the highest quality I can achieve. I'm always open to suggestions for new designs so please feel free to contact me via email any time! :) Custom order are welcome! Kind regards, Amber www.naosglass.com
