Inspired by Roman Glass...

Learning so much about ancient Roma and her antiquities has inspired me to produce these sets. Although these did not scan all that well, they will give you a general idea...

violet hued vine leaves with iridescent top glaze, combined with brass, amethyst glass and celadon crystal beads; Bacchus would be proud...
an Arte Nouveau head with a distinct classical Roman detail, violets in violet frosted glass with iridescent glaze, paired with amethyst glass beads and crystals...
a set in pale blue frosted beads with iridescent detail, more like moonstone than mere glass, that has a "heavy metal" feel to it!
see, this is the sort of piece I'm talking about...isn't it just gorgeous?
