Welcome, I make glass beads and jewellery! I have been making jewellery for over 10 years and love it :D Cheers, Karen
Each bead is individually (and carefully!) made in a very hot flame and is then directly placed in a kiln to slowly cool for several hours for durability.
I use a 1.6mm mandrel to make the bead hole. When finished the bead holes are just a little under 2mm.
My beads are photographed inside in natural light, I don't adjust the photo colour or light in any-way. Glass is a little tricky to photograph, some transparent colours look darker or lighter in the photograph than in reality - if this is the case, I have made a note in the description :D
MTO - all my beads will be 'Made To Order' - Please allow up to one week for these to be posted - I do try to have some of everything stock ready to send though :D
