Description
- This large bead 44x28mm, is one of the last styles Tom Boylan developed. I called it the vase, he called it the blossom. Check out both images and you decide which end is up. The magic is that it will work either way.
- Gorgeous teal bands separated with subtle red and taupe eyes
- Each bead designed and made by the late Tom Boylan is unique
- He lived on the coast in Mendocino County, CA and often walked on the beaches as well as in the redwood forests for inspiration and relaxation.
- Self-taught artist, Tom was one of the earliest American contemporary glass bead-makers. Also an avid gardener and astrologer, his beads seem infused with both nature and the cosmos. They appeal equally to men and women, and were among the most popular we carried in the Beadazzled stores.
- Tom used borosilcate tubing as the base for his beads, adding dots and stripes. Then temporarily closing off one end, he blew into the tube to achieve the desired size and shape of the bead. As a final touch he gave the ends a twist.
- Only one available. Tom passed away in the fall of 2024.
