Part Four:

I tend to create sculptural beads that look more realistic with a fantasy sculptural bead series here and there. Lion and wolf pendants are my favorite off mandrel creations. I was surprised when I looked back over the road I traveled that I began creating sculptural beads early on in my glass career.  They are challenging and fun to create. It will be interesting to see where the next curve in the road takes me!!

That ends My Sculptural Journey for now.   Thanks for checking out my blog.
