Blooming Focal Beads

Posted by Christina on 9/27/2005
These beads are a little harder than most to photograph. The 3-d effect is hard to get in photos, but they are a blast to make. I will be posting more pictures soon!
Honey Magnolia
Here's a top View of this bead. I pot tiny dots for the middle of the flower.

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!
