These are wonderful! This free tut was posted on Lampwork Etc, by an artist who makes wonderful beads. I almost bought one of these beads when she had it for sale on eBay last year, but I got outbid!
I had a go at making a couple yesterday and was pleased with what I managed - for something that looks so stunning when completed, they are surprisingly easy to make.
Anyway, here's the link! ;D
