Traces of silver and ivory were swirled on a base of ocher red roof tile. The reaction of the silver and ivory with the red roof tile produced the deep veining and beautiful variation in colors. The small white dots that are seen best in the close-up, are tiny droplets of silver. The set includes 5 round beads that are 9-10 mm from hole to hole and 12 mm wide. They were made on 1/16th inch (1.6 mm) mandrels. The beads were made from Italian Effetre glass. All of my beads are properly annealed for strength and durability.
