What are Orphans? They are handmade lampwork beads that are lonely! One-off designs that have no matching 'pair' or others to make a set.

Each bag contains a minimum of 10 beads (more often 12+), and I have sorted them according to 'seasons' this time...

Spring; bright colours including lime green, fresh greens, orange, turquoise, purple.

Summer; the emphasis is more on purple, pink and red.

Autumn; glorious swirls of autumnal colours, think caramel, cream and a splash of green.

Winter; predominantly black, with red, purples and brighter colours.
