Glass Bead of the Day: December 1

Only 24 days 'til Christmas!
Come to think of it, most of you readers would say 25 days as you celebrate Christmas on the 25:th. But in Sweden we, for some reason, celebreate Christmas Eve as the BIG day.

But to the point. Todays BOTD has got nothing at all to do with Christmas - except the fact that any jewelry maker would be thrilled to get this as a Christmas gift. This wonderful bead is made by Lara Lutrick:

Monets garden

I love the pretty swirls of pastels in this bead and the shape is so great.

Lara has lots of pretty beads made of reactive glass in her shop, so check it out if you're a fan of those silver glasses!
