One of my favourite ways to buy lampworks is a 'destash' - where the artist is selling off a bunch of beads not necessarily related to one another - maybe orphans or pairs that didn't quite make it into full sets. I love these as you get loads of variety and often (can you tell I'm Scottish?!) at a very good price. So I was delighted to see Clare selling off three destash sets on her website! The above picture is of the set I chose and I have to say, I'm totally and utterly in love with it! I don't know that I've quite captured how gorgeous the beads are BUT believe me, they're stunning. I'm a real turquoise girl so...
...THIS ONE immediately jumped out at me but they are all stunning. I believe it's the reactive silvered glass that Clare uses which give her beads such a mystical sheen. You can see this with the other beads I've close-upped below. Completely wonderful.
Now, if only I could find something to do with all these lovely beads...!

I love clares beads also, as you already know, the bead that you like bead, i have a large focal bead and two smaller ones of these, but i have still to get round to making something, will post a pic on my blog soon.
That's a great idea- de-stash beads.
I get a bit paralyzed when trying to decide between one beautiful bead or another.
Thank you!
