Lampworked Florals - Macro Monday

Click on the pic to enlarge

I was in my bead box again. Each *lampwork glass bead is handmade and measures 1.5cm (1/2 inch)

I think these little beauties will become a bracelet.

*Lampworking is a type of glasswork that uses a gas fueled torch to melt rods and tubes of clear and colored glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements.

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!
