"Can not wait to see what you come up with" -Recipient of the beads below
Much like my Pride Beads, I have been enjoying the feel of reacquainting myself with my torch, and how the glass feels. I aim for consistency in this art, and the dots are helping me on that quest.
After Beltaines, I was asked to create a set of beads in autumn colors for someone from Tir Mara. I happily accepted the task, and am pleased with how they came out.
As before, I chose my dot design from extent beads found throughout the world, this time focusing on China, Britain and Rome.
