new multilayer raked beads

Click on a thumbnail to view the full-size image.

These are a new design series. They all have in common the basic design idea that a raked pattern "floats" on clear glass above a core of some different quality. The core might be solid, spiral, dichro, or just plain clear; but the raked pattern is floating perceptibly above the core. These are complex little beads which should be peered at closely to be really appreciated; and they look quite different in different lights. I photographed some of them in sunlight as well as artificial light.
