Grape Crush Glitterbomb - a glass bead stuffed full of stuff
$65.00 / Sold Out
nearly 8 inches of beads
bead size (approximately):
23x24mm
1/8" hole
glass, glitter and stuff, sterling caps, brass core
Blue-violet glass full of silver flecks, strands and glitters, with accents of fuschia and deeper violet purple and pale lavender. Bigger than some of my Glitterbombs, but smaller than some of my other ones. It has a brass tube core (which is significantly less expensive than sterling or fine silver tube) and it blends in better color-wise than copper tube with the sterling bead caps. The bead caps are stamped with dots and paisleys. My personal favorite things to do with these is make a wire-wrapped pendant, or use it in a purse charm design with tassels. Of course, you can slide it onto a chain or ribbon and be done with it the same day it lands in your mailbox.
FOR HOLLOW/STUFFED BEADS: Do not submerge in liquid, pretty please. Fogging and discoloration can occur. The seals are relatively tight, but not waterproof. A silver polishing cloth should work for the metals I use (sterling, copper and brass).
About the beads:
These lampwork beads are made by Sarah Moran with soda-lime glass (also known as soft glass), and are kiln annealed for strength and long life. I do my best to provide an accurate representation in the photos. If you are interested in buying but have questions, please contact me.
