The Goddesses Project

Long long time ago before I make my own beads, I have this little project in mind. Due to many many oh so many reasons that I wont get into, this project was neglected. Recently I decided to finish it and I’m very happy with the result.So, my plan was to make a piece of jewelry using variety of lampwork beads that I collected from some of the many beadmakers I admire. I emailed each one of them with the same request, which is to make me 3 beads in their signature style. I pick the rod colors, which is white, clear, clear pink and variety of pink. I also set the size of beads to be around 11 to 13mm, with expectation that some will be off by 1 or 2 mm, which is okay.Anyway, I found out that its also impossible, at least for me, to make just 1 jewelry out of these beads. I ended up with a few pieces. Everything’s done. I call this set ‘Goddesses’. To see the list of beadmakers, click on the image. Thank you for reading!
