How to Make a blue lamp work bead with Latticino and Frit

One of the coolest beading effects is the kind that suspends various materials - from flowers to Latticinos - in a clear glass case.

In this jewelry making tutorial, Kate Drew-Wilkinson will show you how to create a blue lamp work bead with Latticono, two kinds of Frit, and flowers.

Kate shows you how to use Frit and Latticcino to make an effective abstract bead for use as a pendant with Spectrum Stained Glass remnants.
