MOROCCO SPICE... (20)
...These would look fabulous on sun
kissed skin with a black summer dress and a tangerine scarf or hat. I have
horded these for too long. It is time to let them go! I split them into
2 sets, some with raised transparent dots as surface decoration in
orangey-topaz, and some with the decorations melted in. You might want to use
them together, they match. Included in this auction is also a little
experiment, a square bead with a square hole. Kind of fun, I'm going to let
your creativity come up with what to do with it. You are bidding on a total of
20 lampwork glass beads made from Italian Effetre glass. 20 beads: 14 decorated
beads (7 smooth and 7 with raised dots), 5 spacers (one is a small decorated
sliding spacer-the rightmost bead in the picture on the very bottom of this
page) and a square hole bead. All with a black base, decor in the
"new" coral color that shifts from tangerine, to orange to coral
depending on...hm... not sure, it just happens.

MY LAMPWORK
I use Italian Effetre (also called Moretti) and German Lauscha glass to create these
handmade lampwork beads
in my studio perched on a hill above the beautiful Monterey Bay in California.
I follow my creativity as I make the designs, and if you see a design you like, bid accordingly as I don't know
when the bead muses will inspire me to remake that design. (And I am so
busy with special orders, that I rarely even get to put a set up here.)
I carefully create each bead over an open flame,
it is then kiln annealed overnight in a digitally controlled kiln, and each bead hole is cleaned individually with a diamond drill bur.
You are bidding on the strand pictured. Photos are enlarged to show detail,
a ruler is handy to gauge the size of these beads.
Questions? Feel free to email, I love to hear from
you!
