Lampwork Cabochons - retailer Wanderlust 5 - blackberrybeads

I wanted to make a set of cabs that had a high shine on them, and I think I achieved that with this set. There a whole lot of sparkle, even when I was looking at them in a dark room, I could see them shimmer.
The main color is green, but there is a lot of purple, lavender, pink going on with accent flashes of gold against olive and mint backgrounds. I like sparkly things, as I think many of us do, and this set definitely delivers on that.

These cabs can be used in a variety of ways including seed beading, bead embroidery and silversmithing.

If you are a seed beader, you might enjoy creating bezels around these cabs to create a bracelet or multiple pendants.

I took the online class from Karen Long Designs called “This N That” retailer and it taught me how to bead around the cabs using seed beads/delicas. I've made many bracelets and pendants after taking the class and highly recommend it. You can find the online class here:

I hand make all of my cabochons in my own Texas studio using an oxy/propane torch with glass from the US, Italy and Germany. The cabs have been annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for strength.
