Floaty quintets

Lampwork glass beads by Laura Sparling

I've come to think of the band-spots-scrolls-polka-dots-and-spiral-bead quintet as my 'signature' set and my favourite version of it is the thinly-encased one where the decoration casts a shadow on the glass below the encasing layer to create a floaty sort of effect.

These 'Periwinkle' ones were made with a core of CiM Douglas Aster, encased with Effetre light blue 052 and decorated with Effetre white 204. The layering has created a beautiful shade of periwinkle.

And these 'Milk Bottle' ones are CiM Butter Pecan encased with Effetre super clear 006, decorated with Effetre light sky blue 224.

Both of these floaty quintets are available in my shop.
