FAQ's
Are those real flowers encased in the beads? TOP
No, the flowers are all created from tiny dots of glass. I first pull the colors of glass I want for the flower petals in really tiny pieces called stringers. The after the base bead is made and the background detail encased I use the stringers to make tiny dots placed in as perfect of a circle as I can on the surface of the bead. I then top these dots with a transparent color, and slowly melt them flush with the surface of the bead. If the flower has more than one layer of petals I repeat this step again. The "flowers" are later carefully encased in clear glass to create the depth and magnify the sparkle that you see in my floral beads. Do you do special orders? TOP
Yes and no. There are some things I can do, and some I can't. Because my beads are unique and one of a kind I cannot "copy" a bead, but if there is a certain color scheme or style you like, I will do my best to create what you are looking for. Because I use such a variety of glass colors and types, I may not have the same color or it may have been a color that I mixed specially and could not get exactly the same twice. Also, some of my designs are "retired" and I could not make them again if I tried. If you are looking for something in particular let me know! |
