I love Lampwork beads and this is another beauty by the lovely Wendy of Creeky Beads.  she handcrafts these stunning glass lampwork beads in her studio and i love them all! 
 
All the details on the bead have been created with glass and so i didnt want to over complicate the design, i wanted to just set it in a way that brings the best out of the bead.
 
i started with a woven bail and then framed the bead, adding tumbling swirls to bring out that organic nature inspired look.
 
I have used bare copper wire, this can tarnish naturally but i will include a small piece of steel wire wool which you can use to polish it back to its bright shiney self, or i can add a protecting coat of wax that will slow the process down.  please note this is natural when using bare copper.
 
The pendant measures at 5.5cm from bail to point and 3.5cm across.  
 
it will come on a standard 18" copper plated chain but can be changed to a wax cord if you prefer.
