AnastasiaBEADS

This focal is 40 mm tall (from hole to hole), 45 mm at the tallest point, and about 34 mm across (right in the middle), 37 mm at the widest point.
It´s squeezed and about 9-10 mm thick, thinner towards the sides. The "bubbles" are raised and therefore thicker.

It is made of Italian Effetre glass, Vetrofond glass and German Lauscha glass.
I used clear, cobalt, coral, black, white and some enamels.
The back of the bead is flat and covered with enamels, it has a texture and a few corals as well.
The hole runs from top to bottom (big picture).

The bead is partly etched; the bubbles are not.

Pictures were taken in a table top photo studio and the bead has been enlarged to show details. Colors may slightly vary on different monitors.

The bead has been wound on a 2.0-mm mandrel.
