Beads
on this page were created by adding various frits (small bits
of glass) to the surface of the bead. A random pattern develops
that looks much like gem material in a matrix of less precious
stone. Including a thin layer of metal leaf
(silver, copper, gold, or palladium) in the mix of materials
can add a great variety of "organic" color that mimics stones
found in nature.
All
beads slide easily on a 12 gauge wire. .about
