Dragons Lair is a HUGE Handmade Lampwork Glass Focal Bead with beautiful aqua fading into a clear pool with trapped air bubbles, tentacles and copper. On the surface she has silvered ivory smittingly slathered around as she weaves her nest reminiscing of the legendary Renaissance period.
Measures 39mm x 35mm x 23mm
Hole Size 2.5mm
My handmade lampwork glass beads are created one at a time in my studio. I use a variety of glass including Moretti, Effetre, Double Helix, CIM, R4, Vetrofond, Lausha and Reichenbach. I also like to use silver leaf, silver foil, gold leaf, palladium and fine silver in many of my designs. I melt this glass with my Carlisle Mini CC torch and form it into a beautiful bead. I kiln anneal my beads in my Glass Hive kiln overnight for added strength and durability and clean them with my diamond bit dremel.
ANNEALING is very important. All of my beads are digitally kiln annealed overnight. It helps to relieve stress in the bead and let the glass settle for added strength and durability. Then my beads are removed from the kiln and cleaned using a dremel to remove the bead release. Cleaning the bead hole makes for a prettier bead and means cleaner jewelry construction for you.
