Lampwork Glass focal bead FLORAL IMPLOSION

Description

ABOUT THE GLASS BEAD:
Six one of a kind Lily petal murrini are encased and imploded (an explosion!) into crystal clear glass. A bud is made with latticino cane and numerous dots. A beautiful bead.

(These pictures were very hard to take. The macro function picks up bubbles that are so super tiny! It is really hard to capture the actual piece.)

The hole is cleaned with diamond bits, and cerium. The hole is left etched and creates a nice contrast in the center of the bead.

SIZE: 35 mm tall (1-3/8")x 20 mm round, 2mm hole

All of my work is signed in titanium pen; in a discrete location.

THE GLASS in my work is of highest quality, and is manufactured all over the world. I use Moretti, effetre, Vetrofond, CIM, Double Helix, Reichenboch, Schott Crystal, and more. All of my work is created in a flame, one at a time. All glass is annealed for strength in a digitally controlled kiln. The work is cleaned, inspected for flaw, and is as described.

SHIPPING is $3.00 world wide, and $2.00 for each additional item.
Insurance is an optional additional charge.

I REPRESENT MYSELF; all of my art is created in my studio in Southeast, Michigan. My work is available on my website (www.sheilamorley.com), E bay, Etsy, and local shops in the US.

After 16 years of practicing art; I make ONE OF A KIND sculptural glass art today.
