Hey, thanks for the props DD! I've always had a fascination with glass from marbles to beads to art (Dale Chihuly is my favorite).
I'm actually just learning to make them. This is my 3rd string of beads and I love the process. They're made by using glass rods heated to molten with a torch and wound on a mandrel then kilned (annealed) to make them strong. I've dropped them on concrete floors without breakage. It's a lovely medium to work with, the creative possibilities are endless.
I don't have enough beads right now to sell - all of the ones in the photo are spoken for - but I hope to have more soon. Stay tuned! :)
Casper please let us all know (through a DD post) when you be selling these. They are beautiful. I really want a Pandora bracelet with Murano glass beads for Christmas but is way too expensive. This way I get a bracelet and support a fellow blogger!
Our friend Casper makes these glass beads herself. OMG, color me impressed. Do you take orders??

I just want to touch them, they feel very nice in my mind.
Think I need to learn more. How are they made? seems it may involve heat and special tools.
