Hooter | Lampwork Glass Bead Focal

I’ve been cleaning out my various bead bowls for a sale and found this guy. He was from a Kim Fields class. When I take a class, I try to adapt what I learn to my beads and not just copy someone else’s work. This owl was one of those beads that I know I will never make again… but this little hooter still still needs a nice home ;-)

1 focal 21 mm tall x 22 mm wide. Vertical hole $15.00

Purple Blue | Lampwork Earring Beads

When I put my Etsy shop through a critique, one of the comments was “more earring pairs.” Funny, but I have been thinking the same thing… So here you go (cause all good glass beads go here first ;-) right?)  11 mm hole to hole x 10 mm. 2 beads $6.00

Curved Shoreline | Bent Glass Focal Set

Finally! Another curved bead! I love making these in transparent glass so you can see the texture inside the glass. Teal base with lots of silvered ivory “sand” and waves on the front and little murrini sea shells. I made matching donuts with the same texture inside the glass and boy do they sparkle… it’s almost like using dichroic, the way they catch the light. This set is sure conversation starter!  Focal is 54 mm long (just over 2″) x 11 mm and the hole is a generous 4.7 mm. Donuts 6 mm hole to hole x 12 mm and a 2.7 mm hole. 3 beads.  $35.00

Coral Pink Disks | Glass Bead Set

I’ve long had a fascination with disk beads but felt I lacked the delicate touch to make such narrow beads. After getting some advice from a friend, I sat down to make a set in one of my favorite colors. Not completely orange – there is a pink tint to these sweet little set. The strand is just over 2″ long. Made of graduated sizes, the largest beads are 6 mm hole to hole x 13 mm and the smallest are 5 x 11 mm. 10 beads $28.00

Peacock Seas | Glass Bead Focal

This is one of those simple glass beads that may not appear to have much going for it on first glance… But dig a little deeper and see the world within! A fine sifting of soda was added to one of the layers to create millions of tiny bubbles. The top was “frit cased” with a high-silver reactive glass, creating a shimmer on top of the bead. I promise you, this is a stunner! 32 mm hole to hole x 27 mm wide. $15.00
