Borosilicate Beads

Borosilicate Beads

Posted by LLuviaBrito on 7/27/2003
One of the most important parts of working with hard glass is "playing" with all of the wonderful colors and possibilities each one offers. This gallery includes most of the colors I've used in each bead. You might notice the large quantity of different designs used throughout these beads, part of the nature of my relationship with glass is a short attention span. I love to discover new techniques, however I hate to do any of them over and over.

Vivid opalescent boro colors, I've used both Northstar and Glass Alchemy. These sets of beads are the very best results of my love for color! One of the most important parts of working with hard glass is "playing" with all of the wonderful colors and possibilities each one offers.

Freeform Tabbies

Freeform Tabbies

These beads are earthy and a little rough in shape, far from being perfectly balanced, they are a lot of fun to make! These are the kind of beads where I just let go when making them.

Spacer Bead Sets

Spacer Bead Sets

Mostly adding these to show some boro colors and what they look like in a small application such as little spacer beads. I hope this page will help with what some of the colors look like together, in frit form, and encased colors. Hopefully it will also be a good reference for people who want to try boro but don't know what colors to start with.

I sell my beads and sculpted flowers via Etsy, my user name is Uvanomos. You can also purchase my work at the West of the Moon gallery in Flagstaff, AZ and Animas Beads. I am 27 years old, and have worked with glass for 15 years, getting my start when I was just 13 years old. This is now my 10th year working with borosilicate glass and I am still immersed in what feels like a fresh budding passion every time I create. I just graduated from NAU with a degree in Sociology. I really appreciate the support of all of my customers and glass enthusiasts! Besides glass & school, I love to Hike, especially in the Grand Canyon!
