I love Thimbles! I've collected them for years, so I decided to make them out of glass just like my beads.

This thimble is a Floral thimble featuring several fresh picked red ripe strawberries with new white blossoms "growing" around the outside.

It measures 27mm tall and 24 mm wide.

It is made with a black glass base upon which the strawberries & flowers were "planted". A ring of hand pulled "twistie" was placed at the base of the thimble. Very pretty!

All my Thimbles are made with Effetre, Moretti, Vetrofond, Lauscha and Ornela glass rods or a combination there of and have been properly annealed in a digitally controlled kiln overnight for lasting durability.

Each thimble is individually hand made, detailed and signed by glass artist, Colleen Schroll. It is a unique, one of a kind thimble and no two are exactly alike.

The thimbles were made by myself in my little studio right in the middle of cow country in Missouri. I've been making beads and glass pens for over 18 years now and enjoy every minute I can get at the torch. I just recently added thimbles to my glass play and really enjoy thinking up new designs for such a small space. Although I usually can grab about two hours in the evening to devote to beads and things.

Thanks for looking!
