Glass Beads for Jewelry 11.21.13

One of the best things about using glass beads in jewelry designs is the seemingly endless choices of sizes, shapes and colors of artisan lampwork.

Of all those beads, one of the easiest "instant jewelry" beads out there is the cabochon. A cab is a bead that has no hole and in glass, it has a flat back. You can spend hours creating a wire wrapped bail or...use one of the fantastic glue on bails and wear your jewelry in minutes!

Our feature today is a trio of glass cabochons from Cherie of Happy Skull
