- Tom Boylan bead, red amber and black 38x17mm
- Sunrise or sunset? Either way this bead evokes a transition between day & night
- It came from a San Francisco Bay Area designer's collection and I'm posting several more in different shapes and sizes. GLC-303, GLC-306, GLC-307
- Only one exactly like this available
- 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 our 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. As a final touch he gave 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.
