Dora Schubert / Elizabeth Prior

Though I make lampwork glass rings myself, I rarely look at other lampwork jewellery; I think it's because I'm paranoid of absorbing and inadvertently copying someone else's idea. When I came upon Germany's Dora Schubert, however, I could not look away. Talk about absorbing.
