This is the entire bead from which I posted a "cut out".

 It is a bead which I made from different colors and types of glass.  I used "shards" which are pieces of glass that have been blown from the end of a hollow tube until it resembles a very thin light bulb.  It is then smashed with a hammer and put onto the bead and melted in.

You do not need to comment but this is to show what the WHOLE bead looks like.

Thanks,
