For Christmas, I recieved a ton of Murano glass beads from my dear friends, Liz. Murano glass is a type of bead that is typically hand blown by artisans. Each bead is completely unique. I've never really worked with Murano glass before, so I was curious about how to make it work for me. It was tricky.
Murano glass is heavy, often has slightly irregular shapes and has to be treated carefully in a design. Because the process of making these beautiful beads is so involved, artists often focus on making truly beautiful beads instead of truly uniform ones. That can make incorporating them into a necklace design a bit tricky. Still I pulled it off. Have a look!

Alright, that's enough of me imitating the Doge meme. This necklace was really easy to make and a great break for my wrists since they've been aching an unusual amount recently. I wish I could post this on my
Etsy, but mom snapped it up right away. Perhaps I'll make something similar sooner or later.
