My Etsy Shop

I sell holiday glass beads, Made to Order lampwork and older beads in my Etsy shop.

Uptown| Donut Glass Beads

Six large donuts (10 x 18 mm) in a rich red base. A reactive high silver glass was used to coax a lovely fine line of silver ivory on the edges of the black. $28. The original set is sold but remakes will be offered for a limited time.

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

Sunny | Dichroic Glass Lentil Bead

I actually made this for me… thinking it would be a nice focal for a kumihimo necklace.  After months of looking at it in my bead bowl, it’s time to let it go…  37 mm hole to hole  x 40 mm (1.5″) This is a nice LARGE bead. Lots of silver rich glasses, reduced and heavily encased to capture that shine and mother-of-pearl look on both sides. A swath of crinkle dichroic is down the center and a colorful sunflower wrapped around one side, blue aventurine was used for the spiral. Spirals are a symbol of the circle of life or of ‘home” and are often featured in my work. $42.00

Twisting | Lampwork Mini Focal Bead

A mini focal from a series I’ve been fondly calling “What? Was I drinking??” because of my inability to make any two beads look remotely related… OY! The challenges of beadmaking, eh???

This focal is 23 mm tall x 8.5 mm wide. $12

Purple Rose 2 | Glass Bead Bicone

Another Bicone of the glorious purple rose 31 mm (1.25″) 10 mm at the widet $14.99

Ivory on Black | Glass Bead Heart

Off mandrel heart Ivory over black. $6.99 1.2″ tall including bail.  .68″ wide.

Rio Ribbed Rounds| Glass Bead Set

 

This set of Rio Party color beads is now MADE TO ORDER. A color reaction between a rare, no-longer-made glass and two more common highly reactive glasses. There is no predicting how the colors will develop but a riot is pretty much guaranteed! You will find baby blue, purple, lavender, burnt orange, golden yellow and teal in these. I still have a few vials of the precious glass left but when it’s gone… The party will be over!

The five bead set is a smidge under 3″ long. The smaller pair are about 3/8″ and the larger three are around a 1/2″. $27.50 As always you will receive a photo of your actual beads before mailing!


Peachy Gray | Big Hole Glass Beads

This beads are the result of a color reaction. The colors look brown or gray depending on the light with a pop of peach. They will fit a Pandora and I also have a matching set of micro glass beads. Two beads measure $15.00

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!
