Using cut stones and vintage crystal buttons together creates glitz and lampwork.
"Clouds Over Prescott" was made with one of the faceted stone pendants I purchase while visiting Wendy Simpson Conner in L.A. last year. I only found 4 and they are all sold set in one-of-a-kind necklaces. 
Wendy produced and directed "The Bead Movement", a documentary about beads and people who love them. Glenda Campbell and I were invited to Antonius Glass Studio to be interviewed for the film. What a fun day. You can find "The Bead Movement" at most bead stores and don't forget my on line store:
The cobalt blue lampwork beads in the necklace are created from Recycled Riesling Wine Bottles. The light blue beads are vintage German Glass Beads from a Southern Germany Bead Shop.
I have been in my bead studio most of the day for the past 3 weeks. Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery has been so busy that each day I need to drop by and replenish my bead work. I have not been able to add many loss beads to my "Beads for Designers" cube, so if you have been looking for new beads there please be patient.
