Olde World Charm 2 - Copper Electroformed Focal Bead (sra)

Description

This focal bead started out as a large pillow shape made with basic black Bullseye glass. It was tumble etched so that the glass has a "soft" feel (and look) to it, and then electroformed.

Electroforming is the process of transferring a copper form (vs a thin copper plate) onto an object. The electroforming process for this particular bead took approximately 10 hours. The copper has been patinaed for an Olde World look, hence the name of this series. It measures approximately 1 inch square and was created on a 3/32 in mandrel.

The copper has been coated with a microcrystalline wax to protect the patina.

All of my beads are created by me in my little studio in New England. While the glass has been digitally kiln annealed directly from the torch, it is glass and may break if mishandled.

Lampwork glass can break; therefore they should not be given to children.

I try to use pictures that are true to color, but please remember that monitors vary. This was photographed indoors with daylight bulbs.
