Exploring the Beauty and Craft of Pastel Rainbow Swirl Lampwork Beads
If you're a jewelry maker or a craft enthusiast searching for unique beads, the allure of pastel rainbow swirl lampwork beads might just capture your imagination. These beads are a delightful blend of craftsmanship and vibrant color, perfect for adding a touch of magic to any project.
The Creation Process: A Fun Surprise
These pastel rainbow beads are crafted using a transparent blend known as Ollie by Val Cox. Initially challenging due to its transparency, the discovery of adding white to the mix revealed a stunning transformation. This combination resulted in the enchanting pastel hues that define these beads, displaying colors like pink, turquoise, green, yellow, blue, and purple.
A Play of Colors and Techniques
Apart from the Ollie blend, another set of beads was created using Prism by Glass Diversions, resulting in bolder, darker tones compared to their pastel counterparts. Both sets showcase elegant swirls with shimmering gold aventurine accents, though the Rainbow set offers more of these sparkling highlights, providing an extra touch of glamour.

These beads make me want to play around with other transparent blends because the results have been so much fun lately.
