*Splash*

40 x 40 x 40 mm, flameworked and blown soft glass, cubic zirconium

Created in 2007 for the *Bulles de Verre* exhibition in the Musée Atelier du Verre de Sars-Poterie.

The theme was Air and Water and I wanted to show the bursting of a soap bubble, the perfect interface between air and water.

*Sea Rocks*

40 x 40 x 20 mm, flameworked soft glass

A variation on the Sea Rocks theme, this bead was created for the *Perles d'ecumes* exhibition in the Musée de Berck-sur-Mer in 2005 and chosen for the official exhibition poster. The theme was the sea. It's very impressive to see your bead on a 5 m high poster outside the museum !
