Barrels of Fun – Moody Melon | Glass Bead Set

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this glass… it’s Mood glass…changing color depending on the light! As luck would have it, Swarovski makes crystals with the SAME properties!

This set is shows in fluorescent lighting (pale green – not quite the lime you see here), Natural outdoor light (grey), and Incandescent light (peach!) It’s like three bead sets in one! Strand includes 3 barrels, 2 transparent matching glass donuts and four 6mm Swarovski bicones. $20

Offering these as made to order for a bit… Please allow one week for processing.

Purple Majesty | HUGE Glass Bead Set

This is an amazing set and no, the photos don’t begin to capture the shine and luster in this glass! Made of rare / extinct z99 frit over a reactive base. Simple, elegant and oh-so impressive… these beads would make an excellent statement piece!

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







Coffee & Cream Donuts | Glass Bead Set

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

Earth | Glass Bead Set

I love this set…more from the “What? Was I drinking?” series… Lots of blues and teals and creamy yellow greens. Five round beads: 2 smooth: 2 x 11, 3 ribbed: 2 x 15 mm & 1 x 14 mm $24.99

Isle of Calypso | Glass Bead Set

I actually used these beads to make a rather unusual pendant for an Art Bead Scene competition. It was so unusual, I was certain it would never sell. Yet, I was still fascinated by these beads… the creamy alabastro glasses and the lovely teal blue kicked off by the addition of copper. They’ve been sitting on my desk for ages… I hope you like them as much as I do.

Five bead set – Short Bicone is 18 mm hole to hole x 14 mm. Tiny Spacers are 4mm. $9.99







Peachy Gray| Micro Glass Bead Set

As I mentioned… I was in a mood and made some of the smallest glass beads of my career. These are perfect for a bracelet! The colors range from brown to gray depending on the light…with lovely pops of peach. This five bead strand measures one inch long! $7.00.
Please see the matching big hole bead listing if you like these colors!
