Painted Glass Beads

I visited the China Craft Fair at a local mall and saw these beads. They are glass but painted with a tiny brush from the inside. Above are gold fish beads and the artist asked if I wanted it customised. Yes, please.



This one is a little out of focus but you get that it is a bamboo branch. It is elongated and larger than the gold fish beads. No customisation on this one.

I have not done much tatting so nothing to show you for now. Maybe next week.
