Big, Bold Beads: Handmade Glass Necklaces

These pieces began as a challenge for for me to begin to make my lampwork beads in brighter colors.

I have been working in glass for many years, and have tended to use more muted colors. I pick out a bunch of colors I never use (orange!), and decided to see what I could come up with.

The I added ruffles, goldstone and murrini, and just spent several weeks playing. I made over 200 nbeads, then collaged them into interesting combinations.
