I am really pleased with some new beads I have made with ivory glass and very thin intense black in a line over the top. When superheated and the glass swirled around when molten, the black breaks up into little webbed lines and created a very organic bead that looks a bit like a pebble.

I am calling these "Stones in the road" and they go up for sale for the first time tomorrow. I really really love the earrings.

I am definitely going to have to make a pair of these for myself.

... but I am wondering whether the beads for the bracelet should be lentil or tab shaped rather than round to go with the flat sterling silver beads that I have teamed them with.
