This Treasure Isn't Buried!

Not all grapes are purple, and as you've seen this week, I've been experimenting with some varied grape colors.  Allow me to introduce "Treasure Of Tuscany", a vineyard focal bead in a great cone shape.

While this is not the first red grape bead I've made, it is a stunning bead set against the warm, ivory background.   The background has an almost antiqued look to it created during the working of the glass and the heat it received while the grapes, vines and leaves were being added to it.

Set against this warm, neutral palette, rich, inviting red grapes are hanging in the sun.  The five grape clusters have a great texture and deep color that is sure to tantalize your senses.

As all of my store items, I'll be listing this gem on Etsy in the morning with lots of pictures and more information on the bead. 

I hope you have had  a great week, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Good Night.

This is very pretty also! I think that it would be the perfect gift to a mother of the bride or groom, if they were getting married in a vineyard :)

Erin,

Thank you again! What a great idea for this bead. That would make quite a keepsake for someone.

Have a great day!
