- Gorgeous medium large blue Tom Boylan bead with gold flecked "eyes" 35x23mm
- This one may be the last from my own collection that I'm letting go. There will be a few more of various styles and sizes from my mother's collection and two collections I have acquired in in the past year.
- Each Tom Boylan bead is unique
- Self-taught, reclusive, Northern California artist Tom Boylan was one of the earliest American bead-makers. 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 at Beadazzled.
- Tom uses borosilcate tubing as the base for his beads, adding dots and stripes. Then temporarily closing off one end, he blows into the tube to achieve the desired size and shape. As a final touch he gives the ends a twist.
- Sadly Tom left this earth in the fall of 2024. I hope he's somehow among the stars that meant so much to him.
- Only one bead exactly like this available
