Polka-Dot-It - Set of 7 Lampwork Glass Beads

Description

Warm up with the earthy browns, turquoise and wintery blues in this set of lampwork beads. My favorite color combination, inspired by the western/southwestern themes in Robert Redford's Sundance Catalog - my favorite! This is a set of 7 lampwork glass beads handcrafted by me in my glass studio.

All of these beads have been encased with a generous layer of crystal clear or transparent colored glass for depth, and five have been embellished with colorful flower and dot designs. Two are plain beads, each with 2 layers of amber in different shades. Colors include turquoise, ivory, raku, dark blue, amber, taupe.

All my beads are handcrafted in my glass studio, and are kiln annealed. Because they are made of glass, they can break under some circumstances and should be handled gently. Please see my "store policies" section for payment, shipping, and refund policies.
