Denim Beach Sponges-A Hollow Lentil Focal Bead

Recently I started making a new series called Denim Beach Sponges. They have been well received. This one is special because it took me over one hour at the torch to complete. It is a hollow lentil bead. It measures 37x37x18mm . Often, it is difficult to judge the amount of glass needed to make a large round lentil bead. So I really sweated it when building up the glass walls for the hollow bead before pressing. I was greatly relieved that it came out perfect. Since I don't know if I will ever be so fortunate, I am going to showcase it in my Ebay store at a high price tag.
