I made this spiral rope lariat to wear with My black dress (with a square neckline) for my daughter's graduation, but I didn't get finished till August. I bought all the lamp beads on Ebay from 6 different lampwork artists.

This bead came first. It is THE Winter waterfall bead. It was made by Margaret Ball of Flameweaver Beads (http://flameweaver.com).

Thes two lovelies at the end of the lariat were made by one of my favorite lampwork artists Lynne Tompkins (http://beadsuncommon.com/index.htm). Check out that Palladium on that black bead.

These 4 beads were made by Renee Holoubek of Mother Beads (http://motherbeads.com

The purple bead on the left is by Jill Symons of PI Lampwork (http://www.pilampwork.com) and the bead to the right is by Sandy Misenar of Mountain Morning Design (misenar2@earthlink.net).

These 2 beads are also by Jill Symons of PI Lampwork.

This lovely grey (looks like hematite in this picture, but actually is a lovely transparent steel grey) bead is by Ellen Dooley of Milagros Lampwork.
