’Pelangi Bead’
(Pelangi is Indonesian for
rainbow)
I developed the
technique in
an attempt to reproduce
6th century beads of a type
only found in Indonesia,
brought to my attention by
bead researcher Jim Langton.
Length 2.3cm diameter
2.5cm
Made at the glory hole, from
lumps of colour, melted and
combed , and hot worked
into a tube. A number of
beads are then pinched off
the end of this patterned tube.

the medium.
