Summer meadow lentil focal bead

Summery blue sky above a pretty flower meadow, this bead was created using multiple layers to build up the impression of a summer meadow, The design appears on both sides of the bead.

Bead measures 25mm in diameter approximately, and was wound on a 1.6mm mandrel.

All of my lampwork beads go straight to a digitally controlled kiln from the flame, for annealing, which ensures strength and durability.
