Larry Cimaglio has been a glass artist since 1980. His work is available at River's End Gallery in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and at many shows.

Donna Mehnert started making beads in 2001. For this bead she used Italian soft glass, enamels, and some reactive glass for the stringer decorations.

Beau begins this bead with clear glass tubing, lines it with colored glass, and then closes the tube to form the bead. He decorates the outer surface with rings of offset layered dots before drawing them down to produce the centrally terminated design. Gently raised black accent dots complete the bead.
