11.28.2018 - Matchsticks

handful of matchsticks….

I’ve been making beads for over twenty years… that being said, I make a LOT of beads. But, yesterday this was all that I made. This handful was the results of 6 hours at the torch… crazy, huh? While the idea of a square shaped rectangular bead with a hole in the very middle… can be appealing - let me remind you - glass, through gravity and surface tension wants to always be round… the idea of square + rectangular is crazy, huh?

I had a friend suggest that she could see these used this way…. I have to agree, they’re quite wonderful!! Lots of sparkle and independent movement… very wearer friendly earrings!

I’ve been making many finished pieces lately - but as usual, have found that it sells better in person… IF YOU are looking for a special gift for the holidays - send me a note - and I’ll try to fit the bill!!

Jill
