Liquid Swirl Focal Bead

Description

Here's another gorgeous liquid swirl bead.
These beads are made with a base of black, ivory or other contrasting base colors, dotted with various color combinations and swirled. I place silvered ivory in between the colors to enhance the swirls and give a varied effect. The whole bead is then encased with clear, hand-flattened and hand shaped before I place the final accent dots on the edges and place them in the kiln.
These versatile beads can be strung on a headpin to dangle down from a necklace or strung straight across on your favorite cord, chain or wire-strung necklace.

This one was made using a base of Ivory and has medium purple and blue swirled in with the silvered ivory. The accent dots are a purply-blue on a base of ivory.

This bead measures 28mm long (from hole to hole), is 28mm wide (with the dots) and 11mm thick. 3/32" hole.
