Stacked layers of super shiny transparent and cane glasses in colors of: cyan, streaky lime lime, glittery olive green, and teal give this piece a fluid and watery feel.

**Necklace image is shown for inspiration and it not included in this listing.**
Lampwork beads as seen in my "Vortex Flower Garden" necklace featured in Bead & Button Magazine Spring 2011.
INSPIRATION:
The "Vortex Flower" bead was a "happy accident" bead formed when I was trying to make a more rounded flower shape. Heat and gravity shaping caused this cone shaped wavy flower. I loved the shape so much I used it to make what became the prototype for the the "Vortex Flower Garden" necklace. The prototype pieces were made into my "Vortex Flower" style necklaces. I am excited to offer these beads as singles for designers :D
WHAT TO MAKE?
This large style floral focal would make a lovely center piece for a necklace.
