When I found this beautiful soft pink colored glass, I couldn't wait to make something with it. This is a round bead created using CIM's Gelly's Sty Pink, Desert Rose and Effetre transparent light rose stacked dots. The final touch was to leave the last transparent dots raised. I've always been a fan of pink and I think this would make a very delicate looking pendant, or a necklace using the pink lintels I have posted in another listing. I work with soft glass of many different brands and types. As a professional lampworker, my beads are kiln annealed several hours for strength and durability. I personally inspect each bead for flaws and I thoroughly clean the bead holes with my trusty Dremel tool. Bead sets are only temporarily strung to inspire your creative juices! Any spacers used are included in the sale. Should you not be satisfied with your purchase I am more than willing to exchange or refund according to customer desires.

I am a self representing artist, making glass beads using 104 COE glass from various makers.
I particularly enjoy making beads that are organic. I also enjoy doing sculptural pieces. Anything I do is one of a kind. I can try to be exact, but soft glass has no exact nature.
I'm willing to try new things, I actually thrive on a challenge. But if I can't do it, I'm straight up honest if I can't fulfill your wishes.

For Flower Focal BeadsI was so happy when Grace agreed to try her hand at recreating her vision of these beads. Not only does she have innumerable years of experience creating unique and gorgeous lamp work beads, she exhibits an innate instinct for color, creative vision and perfection. I was immediately drawn to her willingness to listen, as well as the ease with which she interpreted exactly what I wanted. She then proceeded to create immediately, without fear or trepidation, the most beautiful beads. She is a very capable lamp work artist in every aspect of bead making. I shall not hesitate to call upon her services for all future endeavors, and I highly recommend her to any others who have come to expect excellence in custom lamp work beads. Thank you Grace, for a job well done! BRAVO!!
