Ivory Moretti Glass Rods were used in Lampworking these beads. I created this necklace using off loom bead weaving with some free form stitches. "Oh Ivory" is the name of this piece.
Here in Prescott you can learn off loom bead weaving at the bead shops or join the High Desert Bead Society and learn from members. 
If you aren't near a bead shop where you can take classes, check out the two beading books written by Georgene Lockwood. I have 2 pages in the Guide to Beading Book which was put out last year.
The new "Beading Projects" book, pictured here, is out now and the Fish Mobile Project of mine is featured in Beading for Baby session.
Seed Beading Stitches can be learned one stitch at a time and it progresses from there.
Check my online store for both books: http://rowenaart.net/store/
You can also find this book at Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery on Whiskey Row in my jewelry case.
Have a safe New Years Eve! Rowena Tank at the end of 2007!
