One of my lampwork glass buttons - one-of-a-kind little pieces of art that are 'specially wonderful for handmade knits, purses, or as bracelet closures.
This button is about 28mm or just over 1 inch. It has a transparent green base, and I topped that with two layers of variegated blue petals done in a slightly iridescent silverglass. At the center is a smallcomplex murrini. It is completely encased in clear glass for extreme depth. Including the shank, it is about 13.2mm tall (or about 1/2 an inch).
Like my beads, my buttons have been fully kiln annealed for strength - however they are glass and are not meant to be machine washed or dried. They can be hand washed or dry cleaned, or remove them from your garment before washing.
This item is yet to be reviewed.

I am a self-representing artist and have been making glass beads for about seventeen years now. I have been an artist for much, much longer (don't even ask how long - it might give away my age!). My beads are made using a technique called "lampworking". The glass is melted in a VERY VERY hot flame and "wound" onto a metal rod, called a mandrel, that has previously been coated with a clay-like substance called a release. When all the decoration is finished the bead, still on the mandrel and still very hot, is placed into a 965-degree kiln to "anneal" overnight. This allows the glass to get to the same temperature throughout, and then cool down slowly to prevent cracking. Beads that are not annealed can be little "time bombs" waiting to crack!
