LAMPWORK BEADS BRACELET 2

LAMPWORK BEADS BRACELET 2

These beads were made using  a technique called lampworking. This involves heating rods of glass in a flame, and then carefully building up the bead shape using a stainless steel rod.


These beads have a core of ivory glass, around which silver thread has been worked. The silver reacts with the ivory glass creating the mottled effect.


A central flat bead creates a focal point for the bracelet.

 

The beads are then annealed in the kiln for around 10 hours, before being cleaned and strung alongside smaller spacer beads,
