In naming my beads by whatever pops into my head when I pull them out of the kiln, these got named Xanadu. You remember the Olivia Newton John movie in the late 70's or early 80's? For some reason the magical blues and purples swirling around in these beads made me think of that movie. They have a nice encasement of clear that makes them very glossy and adds depth to the colors. I made coordinating ming blue spacers to complete the set.
Total # of beads: 11 (5 focals and 6 spacers)
Bead Size: Medium focals tabs and small spacers
Bead Measurements: Focals are 15mm square x about 8mm thick and spacers are about 7-8mm in diameter
Glass used: Soft glass 90, 96 or 104 COE
Mandrel/Hole Size: 1/16" for minimal “wobble” when stringing.
Of course, all of my beads are annealed in a temperature controlled kiln overnight to settle the glass molecules and give them strength. But, keep in mind, they are GLASS and will still break if not handled properly.
Thank you for looking!!
