VictoriaGail Lampworked Beads HoneyedTropical Punch Opaletta Beads- 71 Beads

Description

Handmade by Me   This is one of my saturated dichroic shaped sets.  I made five different types of cane for this set. There are two canes in shades of honey. One is transparent pink, one transparent orange and the other is transparent yellow. The colors are bright, deep and saturated. All the canes contain five different colors of dichroic.  I used the lighter shade of honey cane as a base and then added a spiral layer of silver and copper dichroic topped by a spiral layer of moonlight and candy apple red dichroic. I then encased it with the pink, orange and yellow canes, laid in a spiral.  I shaped the beads using a brass tool into the chiclets and coins. After shaping, I heated two areas on each side of the shaped beads and twisted the glass into a swirl, using the deeper honey cane. The tropics have been on my mind lately and I started thinking about fruity drinks with umbrellas in them. The interior dichroic gives them tons of sparkle. These just make me feel happy!!  The round beads are made with the canes alone and have two swirls each. The sizes are as follows-- 17 Chiclet Beads - 18mm X 18mm; 18 Coin Beads - 18mm X 18mm;  8 Beads - 10mm; 28 Beads - 9mm.  The set as shown is more than three feet long.
As my beads are handmade, I round to the nearest mm for listing.
