My lampwork vessels are made not by blowing, but by winding successively smaller turns of molten glass, one after another, until they enclose an open cavity. This makes for a fairly thick walled vessel that can stand up to the punishment that aroma therapy vials can encounter (or at least as much punishment as any glass bottle can take!). This technique also forms interestingly shaped cavities and vial shapes, which I really like.

This first page displays a few vials that I have sewn seed bead trim and hanging loops for, so they can be worn as necklaces. If you like the photos of the rest of my vessels from the links on the right, and have a favorite one you want mounted like this, let me know. I am always happy to do custom pieces if it means someone enjoys wearing my work!

In this necklace, Geometry, the vial is 41mm x 44mm made from gaffer glass set in a seed bead net and hung from a 17" sterling silver chain. I had originally thought to do a more loopy decoration on this one, but once I saw how the triangles looked I just wanted more! In this necklace, Urn, the vial is 38mm x 16mm made from Effetre glass set in a seed bead net and hung from a 17" sterling silver chain. French Perfume. That's what it brought to mind, at least for me. Something exotic and sultry. Made from Effetre glass, with rose powder to give it the lovely shades of purple and pink, size 73mm x 13mm. Enhanced with seed beads, and strung on a 17" sterling silver chain. Originally I was going to make the seed beads go all the way around the vial, but the look of the round shape of the vial poking out reminded me of a tummy, so I left it open. Made from gaffer glass, 38mm x 16mm, on a 17" sterling silver chain. Split Skirt, ready to go dance the samba if it ever grows legs. Effetre glass, 52mm x 22mm, with little bits of purple and green peeking out at the bottom. On a 17" sterling silver chain.
