SHEBAMAKEDA GLASS ART - One of kind, handmade glass beads

by Evelyn Duberry

PEAR-SHAPED TREE BEAD #1

DESCRIPTION:

This bead is a lovely tree bead softly hinting at pears and the possibility of fall.  The trunk is made from a sparkling goldstone stringer and the leaves are made from a cane i mixed combining more than six shades of green and yellow.  The base is a creamy yellow which has been aged to a crackling multi-tonal finish resembling stone or perhaps an exotic wood.  The bead is just slightly translucent which gives it a subtle inner glow in sunlight. 

This tree bead can be worn as a pendant, kept as a talisman or included in jewellery or multimedia pieces. The hole runs from top to bottom.

SIZE:
Length: 40mm
Width: 28mm (at widest point)

Thickness: 14mm
Hole: made on a 1/16" mandrel

ABOUT MY BEADS:
Each ShebaMakeda bead is hand sculpted by me and is truly one of a kind.  I use top quality glass and supplies from manufacturers in Italy, Germany and the United States and (for the most part) custom blend my colours. My beads are made one by one by me in my home studio and annealed for strength and durability in a digitally controlled kiln.

I want you to be as happy with your bead as I was making it. I do my best to create strong, stable and well balanced glass beads that will last your lifetime and for generations beyond. All are designed to be wearable and have a long happy life with their new owners. Enjoy!
