Summer Colors Handmade Lampwork Bead

This lampwork bead has a Effetre (Moretti) white base (591204). The top is encased with Effetre (Moretti) dark blue (591056) and the bottom is encased with a green which I have had for a few years and am not sure where/what it is, except that it’s COE 104. It’s very similar to Effetre (Moretti) grass green but a bit more olive, so I guess it could be green olive (591025). I used a graphite paddle marver to shape this lampwork bead.

Summer Colors Handmade Glass Bead

I also used some handmade frits and stringers, as well as some 30 gauge .999 pure silver wire and silver foil which I purchased from www.lbsglass.com. These guys are having a nice sale thru August 2, 2009.
