Purple Flower Bead
About this design:
This is also an old necklace. I don't usually have the patience to work with seed beads. I thought I'd show this one because the focal is by Jane Myrsky.
Components:
Lampwork focal by Jane Myrsky, seed beads, fire polished beads, silver beads and findingsAdditional Images:

Arja A says:Beautiful beadwork. Jane Myrskys pendant is nice. It is always exiting to see what new she has created, her blog site is one of my favorite. I am waiting the day that I am able to get some education from her, to lampworking. Her studio is not so far away from Tampere.
