Blue Heaven Handmade Lampwork Bead

I’ve been having a bit of a lampwork hiatus this past year, but I am ready to get back to the torch and try some new things.  Thanks to my friend Vonna Maslanka – justvonna for the encouragement.

Some of the last beads I created were with Rocio glass.  I made 3 of these glass beads with a crunch tool and of course, they all turned out different.  They are very nice beads indeed, but this one is my favorite.  It’s also one of my all time favorite beads.
