When Lynn's favorite glass artist, Tania Grey, sent her some new "Lollipop" lampworked beads to play with, one particularly vibrant bead stood out and demanded to become an apple pendant. After some intensive research among the contents of her fruit bowl, Lynn beaded a calyx and leaves, then added wireworked berry dangles.
