GORGEOUS LAMPWORK GLASS ARABIAN HORSE FOCAL BEAD BY ARTIST JOY MUNSHOWER

Description

GORGEOUS SCULPTED LAMPWORK ARABIAN HORSE BEAD BY ARTIST JOY MUNSHOWER
Joy Munshower makes the most exquisite horse beads I have ever seen. She is well known for her outstanding lampwork beads. I purchased this bead from Joy in 2013 thinking I would either try to make it into a necklace myself, or have someone else do it for me, but sadly, I have never done either. So I thought I would sell this beautiful bead to someone who can and will use it to make a necklace they will actually wear. This bead is much too beautiful to continue to just sit in a box.
This is what Joy says about her work: "All of my lampworking is done in northern California in my home studio. All of my beads have been thoroughly cleaned and have been run through an annealing cycle in a digitally controlled kiln to ensure maximum durability and strength. I am also a Self Representing Glass Artist (SRA) member M-181, a professional member of the ISGB, the ACGA, GLANC and Northern California Bead Society
