Lampworked Beads

This card contains some interesting lampwork designs made by laying hot threads of glass on the bead surface. There are stripes, spirals, and criss-cross patterns in addition to feathering and eye spots. Beads 974-976 are among the types that Stephen A. Frost & Son exported to Africa.
