I think lampwork beads are so pretty. I once thought about ordering the equipment and supplies and try to learn to make them, but I changed my mind. I got scared that I might accidentally set fire to myself or my home. So I've settled for just oooh-ing and aaaaah-ing while looking at beads that others have made. These are made by Laura Sparling.
I too love lamp work beads! They are little works of art and are fascinating. I'm a bead hoarder, but don't have many of these since they tend to be pricey.
You too, Alibaba!! They ARE pricey. I lost a string of four beads that were on my keychain about a year ago. They were so pretty and cost me $5 each bead. You shoulda seen how riled I was about losing them.
