PROJECT NOTES

The beautiful glass beads in this project were handmade by Bronwen Heilman, who used recycled wine bottles as her medium. Don’t be worried about putting glass beads in the tumbler. Well-made lampworked glass can take the tumbler unless it has delicate stringer designs or other fragile decoration. If you tumble beads overnight, they may take on a matte finish.
