Pale Translucent Pink Lampwork Spacers

Description

These 10 small spacers are made out of Pale Translucent Pink. The sizes vary slightly. 9mm hole to hole x 5.5mm thick.

All of the glass items listed was handcrafted by me in my studio in Jacksonville, Florida. Each item upon completion are immediately placed into my digitally controlled kiln and annealed with a preprogrammed annealing schedule based on the type of glass used. The items are annealed to reduce the natural occurrence of stress that builds up during the process of creation. Once the annealing process has completed, the beads are cleaned to remove bead release and are inspected for imperfections. Any item not meeting my standards will not be sold. Even with proper annealing, they are created out of glass, and like all glass they can chip, crack, and break if treated roughly or abused. Please be careful with small children and pets as they may pose a chocking hazard if placed in the mouth.

Materials

I use several brands of soft glass to produce my beads. The glass is produced all over the world, Italy, Germany and here in the US. The glass that I am currently using is Lauscha, Effetre, Vetrofond, CIM, ASK and Double Helix. These brands have transparent, opaque, opalino, alabaster and silvered colors. I use fine silver, gold and copper leaf and foil. I also use fine silver wire. All of these add their own unique designs to the beads and each react differently with the glass.

Pictures

The pictures of these beads were taken inside using several forms of lighting, so please be aware that differences in computer monitors may make the beads appear slightly lighter or darker on your computer than in "real life".
