Anemones

A new bead design from me. I'm calling these my 'Anemone' beads because they look like little sea anemones caught in glass. These ones are periwinkle blue and white. They have the most incredible depth that you just can't see from the photo.

These are implosion beads. You kind of make the bead from the inside out and end up 'folding' the glass in on itself to create an awesome effect. They're quite tricky to make (lots of swearing and failed attempts involved) but the finished product is well worth the beadmaking stress!

I'd love to know what you think of them.
