Other Popular Bead Designs

This is a dot and line pattern that I acquired from the back of one of my favorite earrings.  Typically I make these at 20 mm because the design looks best on this size. I have tried to make them smaller, but they just don't look the same.  The smallest size of bead that this pattern looks nice is approx. 15 mm.

These beads were coated with a black underglaze and the excess wiped off. Then I covered each bead with a light blue gloss glaze.  In the sunlight these just have lots of depth and value.  Indoors, they are muted and wonderful as well.
