Another new addition to our Artfire Boutique Line up, Tribal Style Glass Focal Button Bead in Turquoise and Warm Earth Tones. ♥

This is a really fun style to work with as it is symmetrical and bold but also has organic and warm complimentary tones.

There is a bit of prep work involved when creating this style of bead. Fine Silver is melted into Dark Ivory Glass, which is then applied in a thin line to the bead. Also Handpulled Filigrana twisted cane in black and clear is created and pulled in a thin "stringer" to be applied in the same fashion. Reactive glasses are use that contain fiine silver, which change when different heat settings are used and gas and oxygen mixtures are tweaked.
