Shard Beads

Shard Beads

Posted by ThatBeadGirl on 2/1/2008
i have been totally captivated by the 'shard' movement in lampwork.

i particularly admire the work of amber van meter in regards to shard work, and was motivated to try this myself...so i began by perfecting my own 'blowing' technique to get the shards...then made some beads.

hope you enjoy this gallery featuring my new obsession.
