the above are made from Blueberry Marble color Italian glass with simple white "daisies", 15mm rounds with a 2.4mm( 3/32") hole.
I also tried to make a sculptural flower from the Italian glass. This requires a bit more skill and heat control of the glass to prevent it from cracking (when the glass cools too quickly in one area of the bead, then gets heat again, PING). I like the color which looks pinkish purple under some light and light blue under other lights.
