Fantasy Shopping Saturday

I love glass beads. I love their versatility,... the colors-both muted and bright. I love the way they feel- smooth and sleek, and even rough with texture. The style of beads I love most...Beads that are carefully made by the fingers of fine lamp-workers....incorporating traditional elegance with an emphasis on proportion and color harmony.

I can find these beads in any of the shops of the Fire Divas.... Following is a representation of some beads in this style....feel free to browse all the shops of the Divas for more lamp-work bead examples!
