C.N.Y. Glass Studio & Gallery Artist Jacquelyn Rice www.cnyglass.com

Inspiration is not hard to find when you’re surrounded by the Adirondack landscapes of Upstate New York. The lampwork beads have an earthy natural sense about them that is just amplified with the amazing brass chain and charms by Vintaj.

Materials:
The Lariat is made using Vintaj chain, ring charm Dream, a couple jump rings, head pins and two lampwork glass beads made by Jacquelyn Rice “me”. The tube shaped glass beads are made with soft glass and a combination of frit and foils.

Tools:
Round & Flat Pliers and Nippers

Tip:
Keep your pliers handy, a quick move of the Dream Ring up or down the chain can make give the lariat a completely different look.
