Purple Floral Lampwork Bead

A beautiful floral bead created on an aqua background with periwinkle amethyst flowers. The bead has shimmering silver mica inside the bead. The smaller white accent beads have a bubble in the middle of the flowers.

Floral Focal Beads

In these bead, I worked with more layers and controlled the heat to avoid distortion. The purple bead flowers are the most defined of the three. The flowers do show the best on darker backgrounds.

Valentine Frit

Valentine Frit

This beautiful Glass Diversion Valentine Frit looked beautiful on most of the base glass. These opaque pink blends looked especially nice on Opal and New Violet.

Using clear did not work well because the color wasn’t dense enough. It looked good on white, opal yellow, and periwinkle.

Iron Oxide Frit, Oh My!

Iron Oxide Frit, Oh My!

These little beauties were made with Val Cox Iron Oxide frit. The wide range of colors was surprising. These Lampwork bead pictures were taken outside in natural light which brings out the colors. It also shows all the color inside under daylight balance lights.
