EDP can be nice – sometimes!! This bicone bead has a White (Effetre (Moretti) 591204) base encased with Transparent Dark Aqua (Effetre (Moretti) 591036). I applied silver foil, silver wire, and some handmade stringers. After pushing the glass around with a stringer, I smoothed out the bumps and applied the raised dots. I used a graphite paddle marver to shape this lovely.

Sometimes whenever I get a few free minutes during my day, I’ll google lampwork or “lampwork beads” and tunnel over a few pages, then pick a random site. Today I discovered Out-of-print and Hard-to-find information for Glass Artists and Collectors. They have some very interesting lampwork publications.
