A beautiful sign of Spring! Our handcrafted Waltzing Violas glass three dimensional bead (with approx. 3/16'' sterling silver core embossed with Fenton USA) was designed by Jena Lane Blair and reminds her of ... Tiny spring blossoms flirting in sunshine. Painting with molten glass to create beautiful three dimensional artwork requires a steady hand and keen eye. The bead artisan carefully applies the thread-like strands of glass to the hot bead, being ever watchful not to melt the artwork while maintaining the bead temperature of 900 degrees. Each flower, leaf, animal, or berry is added one at a time and then secured to the bead. Because of the handmade process, bead size may vary from 1/2'' to 5/8'' in diameter.
