Bulky necklaces are very trendy and this amazing piece by Felice Killian, Felice Designs is beautifully so.
Wall to wall glass jewelry in every color imaginable greets you as you when you visit Felice Designs. Her technique is called lampwork, and Felice has been using it to make glass beads since 1994.
Lampworking differs from glassblowing in that glassblowing uses a blowpipe to inflate a glass blob, whereas lampworking manipulates glass with tools and hand movements. Whatever the terminology, Felice makes wonderful use of color and shape. The piece show, appropriately named the Carmen Miranda, is even more stunning in person.
Visit Felice Designs at 424 King Street in the Upper King Design District.
