White Milk Glass. Today’s bead begins with a white milk glass goblet — simple, sturdy, and once treasured on someone’s shelf. Milk glass has been around since the 1500s, originally made to mimic fine porcelain but accessible for everyday homes.
When I first melted this piece, it felt so different to work with — maybe it’s the opacity? But I love how it melts into something new yet keeps that soft, milky glow. The beads turned out simple and sparkling — just like the goblet, but now with a new purpose. 🤍
And yes — that’s my finger with a fresh cut! Occupational hazard when you work with broken glass. It happens all the time… I’m pretty used to it by now.
