Spacer Bead Sets

Posted by LLuviaBrito on 9/10/2004
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.
Purple Luster

These are made with purple luster, encased in clear, usually 3 to a mandrel. They have 2mm holes and are quite small.

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!

Cool Gallery!
I like your work!

Some websites have pictures of individual colors but no examples of combinations, this is a great idea.

Thanks
