Yuka is one of the top few most accomplished and skilled bead makers that I ever met in my travels to Japan. She is insanely talented, and published in many different bead and glass publications over the years. She works with the super soft Japanese satake glass, and typically adds a frosted finish to her work at the end. This bead has a gorgeous burgundy base, with fuzzy flowers floating around on it, leaves and goldstones connecting all the vitality of it. I can't say enough about Yuka and her work, and this is an amazing opportunity to pick up an elegant and beautiful creation of hers!
