NZ handmade glass lampwork bead, by Karen Southey of Te Kopuru, Northland.
New Zealand Lampwork Beads
Bird beads measure approximately 20-22mm long x 8-9mm high x 11-12mm wide
Each bead is individually (and carefully!) made in a very hot flame and is then directly placed in a kiln to slowly cool for several hours for durability.
A 1.6mm mandrel is used to make the bead hole. When finished the bead holes are just a little under 2mm
Please expect some variation in each bead as these are individually handmade using gravity (no tools are used to shape the beads).
