ROSARIES - AMERICAN BEAD ARTISTS II
ROSARY BEADS HONORING GLASS BEAD MAKERS
When ice is melted it becomes water. When glass is heated it becomes liquid  - so then the link between the glassmakers and the water of the bible below. With the new interest in glass beadmaking, the Rosary Workshop decided a few years ago to honor the beadmakers by using their work in our rosaries. Our first ones sold out so quickly we knew others saw their beauty, too ...

... Any of the major Bead shows from Tucson to Milwaukee, from New York to Los Angeles will reveal how beads are formed from rods of glass cane and fire in gifted hands to become miniature works of art. Artists like Basha, and Karen Lewis (Klew Beads) became favorites.  See what you think of our newest collections as they grow. Below we have incorperated some of the work of these beadmakers into our rosaries, chaplets and religious jewelry. We hope you enjoy.

ABOUT DICHROIC GLASS
The word 'Dichroic' means two colors. It appears to be multiple colors depending on the angle it is viewed or the way light plays on it. Originally developed by and for the laser and space industries (NASA), the latter did extensive studies on it. The glass contains micro-thin layers of metallic oxides (aluminum, chronium, silicon, zirconium and titanium) which gives the glass its holographic or iridescent color. These thin layers of oxides have a total thickness of three to five millionths of an inch. All that to get glorious colors!
