Moretti glass, lots of silver leaf, handmade murrini and lattice cane, and a great deal of patience and heat control.

All these pictures are various views of the same bead.

Original Sea Life beads over here: [link] and here: [link]
Deep Sea Life prototype (with red murrini) is here: [link]

So... which of the various Sea Life beads do you prefer? The lighter ones, or these darker creations? Red murrini or green? :)

EDIT:
Holy cow! A DD! Thank you so much to =Exillior for suggesting me, and ^Kitten-of-Woe for featuring me. I am doing the happy dance all over the house! :boogie:

Thank you also to everyone who faves and comments. :love:

Deep Sea Life II by *Athalour. A collage of many views of a single bead that looks like a tiny view of the sea, using Moretti glass (aka Effetre), silverleaf, and murrini. The suggester wrote, "She works on a miniature scale and I'm simply amazed by how much detail and beauty she's put in such tiny objects!!" ( Suggested by `Exillior and Featured by `Kitten-of-Woe )

Hey there. Your beads are pretty! How long have you been lampworking?
The shapes inside are created with handmade murrini and latticino cane. :)

I'm heading into my 4th year of it, now :) One of the things I love about it is that there's always more to learn!

Nope, almost totally self taught :) I did a one-day course in the basics, and then did a LOT of practising! :lmao:

I must say I like the red ones more. they have a 'next to magma' feel to them, more deep looking. these look like they're just getting deep, with still lots of plants and color. both are exquisite!

Thank you - that's great feedback! :D I like the red myself, but am unreasonably attached to both my babies :XD:
