Picadilly Port Holes (10 ) 
I think these Saturn-beads look like port-holes when decorated. My latest craze...fun to make, and pretty challenging too. Making one of these beads feels like  being a trapeze artist in a circus. (I just won't bore you with all that can go wrong.) Let me just say that this set originally started out being way more ambitious than the 10 beads up for auction here! 

You have two-tone saturn-beads, a pink decorated square window bead, a couple of encased lePoppet bi-cones and some other little cuties. The pink I used is the coveted "streaky pink."(Yes, that colors  some pink-loving beadmakers would trade their first-born for.) There just isn't any around of this color anymore. I sparingly use what little I have left. Other colors i used are Ink-blue, transparent lavenders, amethyst and some rubino-oro (goldpink). Altogether not for the faint of heart, but very pretty and feminine!

SIZES
The 3 Saturn beads are about 20 mm from hole to hole, and about 11 mm from thick, the bi-cones are beads are 10 mm hole to hole and about 15 mm in diameter, and the others are about 11-13 mm hole to hole (except the bubble flower which is 6), and are all made on 1/16th inch mandrels. The entire strand is about 5 1/2 in long. A total of 10 handmade lampwork beads.

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!
