Glass Beads Lampwork July 10, 2013

It's always fun to see what elements our artists use in their Glass Beads... colorful frits and stringers, dichroic, pure metallic leaf and foils, sparkling aventurine and even murrini. Glass murrini is created when an artist draws a picture with lots of glass in a very large cane which is super heated and pulled very thin. Once cool it's cut into chips for application in a glass bead! Neat huh!

Yesterday, we had an Jolene from Kitzbitz Art Beads share this cool Hermit Crab Murrini. She sells murrini under the name Frit n Chips.
