Anniversary gift

So today is my Anniversary! My husband told me to pick out something I liked at Sara Conklin, lamp worked bead maker extradinaire's, workshop. I chose these peacock colored beads because I like beads that look fluid and because I now know how these swirls were made. This picture doesn't do the piece justice. But these glass beads, just like the ceramic ones, are so hard to photograph. I was running late and didn't photograph these in the best light. What is so wonderful about these lampworked beads is that no two are alike. So every one in this necklace is a variation on a theme, like a piece of music. The problem is that now I have this one I want the piece below too! Beautiful "Boro" glass!
