Out for a walk the other day, I spied some acorns on the sidewalk. Picking them up and putting them in my pocket for later seemed like a good idea. 'Later" I put the acorns on my work bench and began to copy the shapes with hot glass. Side by side, I laid the glass and the acorn, working for that familiar shape.
This acorn bead is made with Raku frit on a base of black. It is a crushed glass that when used it creates some wonderful deep blues/greens, and some purple. The top of the acorn is made with a grayish green.
This acorn bead is wired with copper wire, hanging on a 22 inch tiny ball chain that is black.
You can shorten the chain with scissors if you like, just snipping off the extra length.
The bead is kiln annealed for durability and guaranteed for workmanship, this bead measures about 2.5 cm in length and less than 2 cm at it's widest point.
This necklace is sure to bring many compliments and it especially will look great through October and November. Wear it on Thanksgiving for a holiday gathering. :-)
