Only 4.5 cm

These are also new pendant style beads, but only 4.0 - 4.5 cm long.

 

Front and back views of the green bead, which has dichroic glass, murrini, and silver glass dots.



 This bead has plunged dots of silver glass, capped in clear, so you can see the little bubble trapped in the middle. This is a high contrast bead.

I was going for a southwestern colour combination, but somehow ended up with a bead that looks like it might have measles. I still like it, its orange!

How big?

My longest beads so far. These are 5.5 - 6 cm long. A couple of them cracked at one end because they got too cool, but I 'm happy with those that survived. And they do make a really impressive pendant.









The age old question - Where's Wally?

He's here!!!!!!


I didn't know you could do that with an egg?

Here are more egg pictures. Who knew you could do all this?
