Glass Magic

A little (2.54cm, 1inch) hand made glass bead representing a sea shell. 
I am going to make it into a necklace one day.

Click the pic to enlarge, it has some very interesting reflections in it, including the light I illuminated it with, and me!

    This is an excellent photo Flame. The shadow/reflection of the bead on the mat is exceptional. Well done.

  25. The shell is exquisite! It will make a beautiful necklace one day, but for now it makes a lovely little piece of art all by itself.

  26. I think this piece seems a MURANO very common in Italy...
    If you do that collar think about using a tire of crude leather, it makes all the difference...

  27. beautiful bead, it will look gorgeous on a necklace

    ReplyDelete
  28. So gorgeous... we used to see lots of seashell jewelry, when we lived in Phuket. Can't wait till you finish the necklace ;-)

    BTW regarding "Under the Blood Red Sky", I couldn't stop my hubby from humming the U2 song all weekend!

  32. It's obviously smaller than it looks - it reminds me of a clenched fist. It's very pretty!
