I need a lampworker to make some small beads

beadnut

Forgive this double post as it is under "help" as well!

I sold this bracelet ages ago. The lady now wants matching earrings. the beads were by Stephanie Magnin (UK) and she agreed to make them, but as she has switched to a new hotter torch, she cannot work with the old soft glass she used to make these beads. So I am looking for a lampworker to make me some matching beads. Stephanie has given me the full thumbs up for this by the way Very Happy

I need 2 dotty white spacers (as per the picture), but the white is a very slightly creamy white.
I would like 2 plain lime green spacers and 2 plain yellow spacers to match the colours in the bracelet, but they don't have to have dots.
The hardest thing will be to match the colours from the photo, but if anyone takes this on, and is hopeful of having a match I could possibly send them the bracelet.

As usual an enormous amount of work for a commission, which will make me nothing I expect, but what can you do?!

Em, do you think that off white is Anice white? I know some of the pastel whites can be pure white and some can be a bit yellow

You know Tan, I think it may well be light Ivory, some of the earlier light ivory I had was very pale and could well be mistaken for white. Anice white doesn't have the same texture...if you get my drift and white is er...too white LOL. I will have a go at the Anice white and see what happens though.....hang on I'll be back in 5 Very Happy

I still think its ivory

I know what you mean about the different textures, it could well be light ivory though, its the tamer of the two isnt it? The dark stuff loves to react all over the place!!

Thanks Emma, I'll take you up on the offer. I have just emailed Stef again as of course she should be able to remember what type of glass she worked with and she might be able to remember the colours too.

The bead diameter is 10mm, but I haven't measured the hole size yet. I'll pm you Emma once I have more info.

Thanks everyone. You're the best Very Happy

I had a quick play this aft when the tourists had gone quiet. I am pretty certain I have the other colours spot on but if you send me your addy I'll pop them in the post on Tuesday morning so you can see in person. I also made the white ones in white and I can have another go at the light ivory theory tomorrow while I'm at Tuffnells, I'm pretty sure they will have a match there Wink

love Em xx
