Glass Bead of the Day for Thursday, January 27th, 2011

Today's bead follows the color scheme of a recent Fire Divas ArtFire Collection, Colors of Winter from the Fire Divas.  Although this lovely bead isn't in that particular collection, it is right in line and is in the spotlight today!

Glass Focal Bullet Bead - Triton Fish Scales, by Sonja of Silver River Glassworks

I love the fish scale pattern on beads, especially when used in this kind of precisely-placed pattern of two contrasting colors.  The silvered glass used, Triton, is a delight, and will truly steal the focus of a necklace using it as the "focal" indeed!

See what else Sonja is hard at work making by visiting her ArtFire studio here.  She also has an Etsy shop, so check out your favorite venue for her glass goodies.  She also participates in the Bead of the Day Promotion, offering 10% off this bead for the next 24 hours!  Contact her in her shop if you are the lucky taker prior to purchase for a smooth experience. :)
