OK... who here makes them? You know the ones, the wisps of color drifting over the surface of another color... encased in clear, so they look deep and floaty like fairy wings.???
I'm looking for some. OK... so I'm looking for 3-6 color is moot... just have to have that floaty wispy look... can anyone help by pointing me in the right direction???

Beth, Try Koregon on Ebay. She and her husband, Dan, make beautiful cased boro beads in a variety of colors. Patti
Koregon is great. I've also been buying from jubaglass lately - not so much wispy as swirly, but great beads and gorgeous colors.

anyone here dealt with a seller named MO Beads? Looks like the lampworker is only 15 years old!!! But the beads are really pretty.... and in my price range. I found some spectacular beads whilst searching! Here are the blues I'm bidding on (craftybeader53)
Those are both WC members, and yes, Aaron is only 15 and a most delightful, talented young man. You should see his soft glass beads! He's really amazing, and hasn't been torching all that long either.
Sonya has a real way with pinks. I love her stuff.

I just bought his two sets of 5 mixed boro beads... very pretty stuff. I'm on a real boro kick lately... and I'd better start selling something with everything I've been buying! :-)

I know Aaron through WC and his mom. They both make up MO beads. Aaron is very talented and I am watching his auctions more and more.
Beth, honey, if you look at the Links List there's a description after every lampworker's name. It tells you what kind of lampwork they make to make it easy for you to find what you want. ~~ Sooz

Lovely beads, but I don't like the pansy in the picture. The thumbnail makes it look like that's the dominant color in the beads/picture, and inclines me to NOT consider the beads (since I don't usually work with that color, and don't have matching beads, or whatever). Noticed the same think with a different artist using a lavender/pink flower.

You might be thinking of Starlia's "faux-boro".

oh. ooops. Guess that's why I shoulda looked there. Thanks, Soozers!
A2B is one of my fave boro artists. So is MAWGA.
