~Tombodama Bead Necklace~
What? : Japanese glass bead known as “Tombodama” threaded through a silver chain – wearable art! My particular piece is a pink bead with gold flecks blown into the glass. Love the way it picks up colours from my wardrobe!
Why? : Every Tombodama is handcrafted individually and therefore unique. Great to have as an accessory or even as a collectible. Designed by Vancouver based glass artist Minori Takagi. These colourful glass beads feature floral and other patterns. The artist uses “Satake” glass rather than Moretti glass as it is softer and has a higher refractive index.
Where? : Currently the artist only sells on certain dates at Granville Island Public Market, Portobello Market, and various events throughout the Lower Mainland. Check out her website for her schedule.
