Wakana Ogura, "Mountain Forest" Size: 0.81" Price: SOLD


Wakana no longer makes beads, as she went into mommy time for a while, and now makes cute little brooches, but while she was in bead creation mode, she made some of the finest and most detailed beads the world had ever seen. She has been featured in several prestigious bead publications, widely recognized as one of the world's best. All of her work is made from the super soft Japanese satake glass, so hard to work with in larger sizes (marbles for instance), but perfect for super fine details, and offering an amazing color palette. Wakana loved to focus on various themes in her beads, and this bead focuses on the misty mountains of Japan. I almost hate to see large pics of it like this, because it's not what it looks like in hand, which is small with so much killer detail worked into it. It's amazing what she can create with glass in such small spaces. This is an amazing example of her work, and SO hard to find now!
