Graceful Amber Raku Focal Bead

This little beauty was created on a base of transparent amber glass, with an organic pattern of dots and lines with raku stringer. Raku glass is fun to work with because you can get it to strike into a wide array of colors including blues, golds, greens, and violets. It measures 33 mm in length, and 9 mm wide. ♥I work with soft glass of many different brands and types. Generally I use a 1/16 sized mandrel unless otherwise noted. As a professional lampworker, all my beads are annealed in a digitally controlled kiln 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. ♥All photographs are color balanced to represent the colors as accurately as possible; however different monitors do display colors differently. And the photographs are sometimes larger than life to show detail. ♥If for any reason you are 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.

I 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!!
