MMJ Lampwork-Gizmo Series-Tell Me a Story III-(5)

Description

I'm beginning to gear up for fall, the color combos aren't as bright. I do think that these are more 4 season colors though. Lots of visual drama but not overwhelming within your jewelry designs is the favor of this bead set.

I got started on this color combo and couldn’t stop. Every once in a while, I find a handful of colors that just beg to be worked together, these are it. These are a mix of large and med sized lentils.

-Number of Beads: 5

-Sizes:
Spree or straight sided lentils (5) measure 21mm hole to hole and are 9mm thick.

-Colors: Ginger base with khaki, sage, indigo blue, bright clay, and violet.

-Glass Type: 104 COE

-Mandrel Size: 5/64th, a size that will accommodate wire yet also work for stringing; smaller than 3/32nd and larger than 1/16th sized mandrels. The hole is 2mm.

-The pictures are enlarged to show all the neato details and have tried as accurately as my skills allow me, to show the true colors of the beads. Your monitor and my monitor may not show the same shading and hues. There also may be light reflections in the pictures, my photo set up includes the typical photography lighting but I’m a much better beadmaker than photographer.

I use Italian Effetre and Vetrofond or German Lauscha art glass. There are times that I also use either Gaffer, Reichenbach, Zimmerman, or Uroboros. Then there are also times that I use one of the American glasses out now (there is a lot of glass to pick from these days). My beads are made on a surface mix, oxygen-propane torch. I use either a GTT Bobcat, Nortel Minor, or Nortel Red Max. Immediately after each bead is torched, it is placed it a 960 degree pre-heated computer controlled kiln and it held there for proper annealing. This annealing process entails an overnight soak in either a Paragon Bluebird or Chili Pepper kiln. It includes a seven section annealing and ramp down process. My beads are never tossed into a fiber blanket and then batch annealed. Each bead is carefully checked structurally, dremel cleaned, and then the process is repeated. This is to ensure strength and durability of the bead, plus to check my work.
