Sea Blossoms & Mermaids

Sea Blossom bracelet.

Lamp work glass beads, sterling silver, opals % rock crystal.

The glass beads were made with a variety of watery transparent glasses and a little bit of silver foil. After cleaning them the beads were heavily etched to look like beach glass. (pssst - thank you Kerry for teaching me the milk trick - she let me know that you need to neutralize the acid from etching by giving your beads a milk bath)

The glass beads were made with lots of transparent glass over a core of sparkly dichroic glass.

I wish I had time to write something witty and entertaining this morning but, alas, I have no time at all to linger.
