Window glass had me obsessed for a while — I even held a small exhibition featuring beads and jewellery made entirely from one old window! I was intrigued by the soft tint of the glass and how it became the perfect base for exploring new embellishments.
Today’s beads are made from window glass too. You can really see the subtle colour come through — and I’ve acid-etched some of them to create the opposite effect of what windows are meant to do… turning transparency into opaqueness.
It’s amazing how even the most ordinary materials — like a window — can become something unexpectedly beautiful. 🪟
Have you ever wondered what other everyday glass objects might make beautiful beads?
