Description
(2006) 2" x 2 3/4"Art glass bead (black, turquoise, lilac, ivory and clear Moretti glass, 999 silver leaf)
This is a close-up macro shot of the focal bead for "Opal River" that I've actually loaded up on my desktop. I think it gives a good idea of what the colors and textures of this lampwork piece actually look like. In my opinion it's the best art glass bead I've made so far...
I went and postworked the background painting it in black to foreground the bead.

I haven't treated myself to watching the movie yet, but looked at images and summaries and it sounds like a very cool story that I'll try and watch some time. The bug's design definitely has a feel of the bumpy blisters on the glass bead - it's a cool effect in the manga drawings.

Thank you! It is amazing how the silver foil creates effects with the ivory glass. I always end up surprising myself.

I'm in love with your jewelry. I've seen many pieces at the art store where I used to work, and they're nothing like this or any of the bracelets you've made. Each has its own personality and emotion and this one tops it. It's so beautiful! I'd ask to buy it if I had any money!

Danke! Ich bin froh, wie die Farben sich entwickelt haben. Kann man in der Flamme oft nicht gut abschaetzen.

I am in love with this bead! If only it were 3" diameter, and flat, i'd wear it as a pendent all day long! Stunning!

Thank you! I did squish it a little, but it's not quite flat...

Das sieht grossartig aus!
Was ich Dich schon lange Fragen wollte... machst Du diese SchmuckstΓΌcke nur aus Spass oder ist es Dein Beruf?
π: 0 β©: 1
Dankeschoen. Ich mache meinen Schmuck nur aus purem Hobby, von Beruf aus arbeite ich als Consultant im Bereich EDV Projektmanagement. (Langweilig!)

So schlimm? OK, ich kann meinen Beruf (KV) auch nicht ausstehen--und habe daher die lΓ€ngste Zeit zum Teil idotische TemporΓ€rjobs gemacht. "Consultant im Bereich EDV Projektmanagement" klingt wenigstens etwas... abgehoben?

Naja, das Geld ist gut - weswegen ich auch dabeibleibe, aber ich bin jede Woche im Flieger und irgendwo andershin unterwegs. Mit den ganzen Flugsicherheitskontrollen, Verspaetungen, ueberfuellten Fliegern, bloeden Hotelabsteigen ist das schon ganz schoen nervig.

Ups... jede Woche Fliegen... lieber Du als ich

Sie sehen toll aus! Auch wenn sie definitiv nichts mit EDV zu tun haben

Ich sage Dir, mein Hobby haelt mich vom Wahnsinnigwerden ab. Ist ein gutes Kontrastprogramm...
