I love these glass (focal) beads when I find them. Sometimes they're too much money. I've been coveting a universe bead for some time now. Bead makers who have the finesse to capture (what appears to be) a universe in a small pendant probably deserve the $50 to $90 price tag on these gems. But this "gem" cost me very little, and I just really loved the brown and blue together, which made me think of a clear shallow creek bed. From there, like always, I just matched colors.
Materials: glass pendant, brown glass bead, blue/brown glass bead, blue and iridescent brown bugle beads, blue and iridescent brown seed beads, gold wire
