Studio A La Mode's Aqua


Ornate brass filigree bead caps, slender tube beads, spikey spacers, and brass pineapple beads of natural brass add an earthy elegance and sophistication to this misty turquoisey bracelet. These lampwork beads were made from copper green moretti glass, which when melted, turns this lovely shade of blue-green. After individually shaping the beads, I rolled them in crushed raku, then returned them to the flame, which has given the effect that these beads were lightly dusted. Pineapple beads are tucked inside the beadcaps for an unusual offset for the bracelet's center.
