Default Recreating an ancient bead

I got this link from a post on the SCA beadmaker's list and thought it would be cool to share here. It's a brief analysis and a good tutorial on recreating a bead from the "Hungate Dig" in York, UK. It has millefiori!!!!

Well, how cool is that. I have always wanted to re-create beads made in ancient times.

Thank you so much for sharing.

You don't happen to have other examples do you?

That is amazing, Joan!!!

Don't know when I'll have a chance to give it a try, but definitely this tutorial is going into my Lampwork Tutorials & Info folder on my desktop.

Sweet of you to share!

Thank you.

I didn't know you were on SCA Beadmaker, Karen! I mostly lurk but occasionally put a post up . . . .

Thank You!
This was a very interesting article. Hard to believe the detail on it for being a 9th - 12th century bead. I guess I need to work on my patience.....

Actually, compared to Roman glass, it's pretty plain. I had the opportunity to go through the Corning Museum of Glass last December, and the fall of the Roman empire really is apparent in the change in the quality/artistry of the glass. I was aware of it for a long period of time (reenactor), but it really hit home when I saw the changes over time of European glass from Roman to Medieval periods . . . . .

I love the irridescence with blues and greens of the ancient Roman glass and the patina. Does anyone know if there is a technique or tutorial to emulate this look with 104 glass? I would be very interested.
