Well, I made this listening to "Harry Potter" on tape... wonderful fun... this bead...well, I went into it with a magnifying lens, recently, when I got it out of the kiln...MAGICAL! The colors are so pretty... light amethysts and soft blues, fine shining aqua and greens and ambers in the water...shells, bubble flowers and you can positively feel the current as the seaweed moves and the silver sand finds its way between the sea creatures...This is a Tidepool bead by the way... and it is just one of those beauties... When I have worked for a long time on a bead such as this, I sometimes feel insecure when I put it in the kiln, wondering if I have gone too far in some way... not so...the photograph cannot do it justice.. trust me, it's a treasure! It is signed and comes with it's own signed and dated picture...Height of the pendant is 47mm.
