Monarch Butterfly lampwork glass art essential oil vial necklace perfume bottle

Description

"Monarch Metamorphosis"
One of the most unique and time consuming pieces I've ever made, this incredibly detailed glass vessel can be worn on a variety of chains and used in a large variety of ways. There is a small space inside, perfect for essential oils, aromatherapy use or wearing perfume away from the skin. You could also add a small amount of sand from your favorite beach, crystals or pet's ashes.
There is a slightly different monarch butterfly scene on either side. The vessels arms are made as monarch caterpillars. The tiny monarch murrini chip (encased in the glass) was made by fellow glass artist Jackie Gundelfinger.
It measures 30 mm tall (the glass vessel, not including the extra height the cork adds), by 30mm wide at its widest point.
Please note that colors can still vary somewhat on different computer monitors. The photos are enlarged to show the bead's detail, so please note the actual size listed in the description.
I am a self representing artist, meaning I create all of the beads and jewelry I sell as well as do all the selling, shipping, listing and photographing involved in selling them myself. My beads are made in the flame of a torch by me, Mandy Ramsdell, in my studio in Maine. Each bead is unique and is a wearable work of art. My beads are properly annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for strength and durability. My beads are made from glass rods that are mostly Italian murano glass. I sometimes use other specialty glass produced here in the US and Germany. I take pride in going the extra mile to make my beads extremely high quality as well as unique. The sterling silver cores are coated with a museum quality wax before they are put into the beads to prevent tarnish. For deals, updates and news about new designs “like” my Lion’s Paw Jewelry and Glass Art page on Facebook. I even have a short video of me making beads on my page. Like my work and want to support a self representing artist but don’t have the cash to buy something? Tell a friend! I’d love it if you shared my work or page on Facebook or other social media sites.
Thanks for looking! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions before bidding.
