I am going to let her beads speak for themselves....
Lamp work beads with sunken dot and raised design

This is a pretty little set of 5 unique hand crafted lamp work beads that is ready for your own jewellery creation.
The Focal bead has raised and sunken dots in turquoise and cream with clear turquoise trapping an air bubble at the centre of the cream. it measures approximately 11mm x 19.5mm
The two clear turquoise beads measure approximately 5.5mm 9.5mm and the two opaque turquoise beads measure approximately 7.4mm x 11mm.
There are 6 small transparent turquoise seed beads between the larger beads.
The lamp work beads have been annealed in my digitally controlled kiln giving them strength and durability and they have been hand cleaned.

Lamp work beads with abstract swirl design

Really cute little set of white beads with a cheery splash of bright orange to the focal bead.
Made in my North of England studio using good quality glass these beads have been annealed in my digitally controlled kiln and have been hand cleaned ready for you to use in your own jewellery/craft creation.
The focal bead is approximately 18.5mm x 13mm and is white with a twisty swathe of orange randomly placed round it's middle. The bead was then wrapped in clear glass to add depth to the over all effect.
The two smaller white lamp work beads measure approximately 10mm x 5.5mm
I have added 4 transparent orange AB seed beads to finish the set.
The lamp work beads were wound on a 2.4mm mandrel
