Lisa uses a lot
of Dichroic glass in her beads and is especially known how she makes
pinks blaze color in her beads. Pink the trickiest colors to work
with.

These star
beads of Lisa's are huge - about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Incorporation of dichroic glass makes them even more interesting to look
at.

On the left side of this tray the
beads are made using purple plum glass. Beads on the right side
have been lightly etched. You can see the dichro through the
