Exotic rondelles done in white with raised multicolored stringer designs. I started each one with an opaque white base, then topped it with raised patterns done in a unique stringer made from clear glass and multicolored frit. The stringer has random bits of light and dark colors, and the designs are different on each bead - no two are exactly the same!
These beads were made on 3/32" mandrels. The smallest beads are approx. 10mm X 14mm and the largest is 13mm X 16mm.
The chocolate kiss is shown for size comparison only - these beads are sweet enough!

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!
