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
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
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
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
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
Gorgeous garden themed focal. The large oval shape is so nice in your palm. White base covered with a beautiful garden blossom frit and topped off with pink roses on squiggly vine stems. 31 mm hole to hole x 18 mm wide. $20 Purchase both the cottage garden set and the Focal and save 10%. Sorry but this offer is not available to Free Beads Gift Certificates as those must be purchased at full retail value. Purchased gift certificates may be used for this sale.
I’m still figuring out my new nautilus press…. this one features a high silver teal glass and looks as though the creature is crawling out of the shell a bit… 24 mm hole to hole x 27 mm $14.99
This was a color test and I wasn’t certain I liked it at all…until I took it out of the kiln and saw all the pretty colors! Wow! You can bet I’ll be playing with this combo again! 35 mm hole to hole x 28 mm wide. $18
Coffee and cream donuts… no one seems to get my humor… so let me spell it out for you: Coffee frit over a cream colored glass…shaped like a donut. Tee hee… Calipers still MIA… I “think” these are 8 x 16 mm. 5 beads 19.99
Another long skinny using every shade of red on my table… I was distracted / mesmerized by the reaction of the high silver glass over the red… that thin line of silvered ivory is mind blowing to me! Calipers MIA in my recent office move… using a ruler! If size is crucial, please shoot me an email. Just shy of 2.75″ long from hole to hole. $30.00 |
