Secrets, handmade, lampworked glass bead, was created by glass artist, Penny Gentle.  She is not only a lampworker, but a handweaver and metalsmith, as well. Her home and studio is located on the coast of Maine, where she is always “in touch” with the sea.   Each of her beads and pieces of jewelry are one-of-a-kind, and evoke very special, personal reminisces of the sea and its creatures.

You would expect to find shells in the ocean, but this colorful shell was handmade and can be worn or displayed for its unique beauty… A beauty that whispers to you to that the secrets of the sea lie within!  There are “currents” of color that run throughout its form.  On its surface, deep blue anemones beckon you!  Marine blue glass gracefully edges the rim of the shell.  All of these magical effects were achieved with Gaffer Cane and Reichenbach Glass.  Made on a 2mm mandrel, this bead is 40 mm in length, and 25mm at its greatest width. Who sells sea shells?  Penny does!
