Medium large Tom Boylan Bead with red accents on sand color, 35x25mm
This bead was part of the evolution from his "eye" style to his last signature creation the "blossom" style.
Each bead by the late Tom Boylan is unique
Self-taught, reclusive, Northern California artist Tom Boylan was one of the earliest American bead-makers. An avid gardener and astrologer, his beads seem infused with both nature and the cosmos. They appeal equally to men and women, and were among the most popular we carried at Beadazzled.
Tom used borosilicate tubing as the base for his beads, adding dots and stripes. Then temporarily closing off one end, he blew into the tube to achieve the desired size and shape. As a final touch he gave the ends a twist.
