Electroforming.. is the building up of a metal coating on the surface of objects that do not conduct electricity. Doing sculptural work in making glass beads can be very challenging, due to the small scale. While working on one part of a bead, other sections can crack or melt flat. The design has to be economical, with just enough detail to make the desired point.
Despite their diminutive scale, beads always succeed in communicating their meaning.
