Daniela Tomecko
Daniela's obsession with colours in addition to the diverse Australian landscape and seascape has inspired her to create many painted and enamelled glass art pieces.
In the past few years Daniela has had a chance to learn and master the flame working technique.
The colour range of Venetian lampworking glass material gave her new possibilities in the creation of miniature originals she calls the "Magic Beads". Each piece is an unrepeated original inspired by the colourful Australian landscape and seascape.
These miniature originals could be finished as wearable pendants or can be collected.
As creation of these intriguing coloured miniatures is time consuming, Daniela has been producing only a limited number of pieces.
This is Daniela's first public introduction and offer of her "Magic Beads".
