I created a small shadowbox of polymer clay to feature this glass bead, and played upon the colors and vine-like design on the bead. Next photos show corded necklace in full.

The glass lampwork bead was made by Donna Montez. Donna is one of a group of 4 women who call themselves the Texas Hot Flashes. To learn more about these glass artisans follow the link on my "Links" page.
