Purple Lemonade-oh la la... (13) Well, here are some home grown beads! Bright yellow, purple and a tangerine-y orange (that is an odd batch of Coral by Effetre) accented by Lauscha clear. This set was kind of tricky, because the Coral doesn't like the purple, and the purple doesn' like the yellow, and I had to be very careful to avoid chemical reactions that would have turned these beads to a dark muddy yucky color. But I tamed both the Coral and the Purple (also called EDP for Evil Devitrifying Purple) I You are bidding on a total of

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!
