I’ve been pulling pounds of ivory and black stringer for all those glass tiger beads I’ve been working on… and when I have a clump of such gorgeous contrast on the end of my pull rods, I can’t stand to waste it! So I make little hearts. I was struck by how elegant and plain they look and… well, I just could live with that! So I added frit – but ONLY to one side of the bead! So these glass beads have a split personality! One side is understated black and pale ivory, the other will have an explosion of color! Wear whichever side suits your mood!
Duo Split Personality Heart #2 is blue, green, rust and lavender on the reverse and measures 17 mm wide x 30 mm tall including glass bail. $15.00
I got a moody new glass rod called “calico” and all I could think to make with it was a cat… pretty cute, huh??? 34 mm hole to hole (including ears) x 30 mm wide $22.50
I’ve been making tons of tiger beads lately and this is by far my favorite! XL tiger bead on an antique key. Key is about 3.2″ long (59.8mm) and the bead measures 10 mm x 14.5mm. $37.50. If you do not want the silk ribbon, deduct $4.00

Cake Slice pair. Vanilla cake, chocolate frosting, coral flowers and leaves from variegated glass cane. Made of glass…completely inedible; totally adorable. $12.00 Measures 17 mm hole to hole x 13 mm high x 10 mm wide.
This is one of those glass bead sets that you kind of stare at for a while. The base is a transparent brown and it’s rolled in a raku that lends itself to blues and greens and purples and rust. It’s still transparent in places…which makes you stare a bit longer.
Five beads: Squiggle focal is 40 mm long by 16 mm wide. Four matching rectangles are 15 mm x 10 mm wide. This set would make an amazing bracelet or necklace! $36.99
Mini lampwork bead set of colorful lentils. Three beads; each 14 mm hole to hole. $11.99
Teal, Turquoise, Lavender, Ivory, Earth tones all swirl together in this extra large focal lentil with matching small pair. It’s a heady mix. The focal is 34 mm round and almost 15 mm thick. The matching smaller pair is 18 mm round and 11 mm thick. This is a really stunning set! $60.00
Welp, I made SO many pink and brown mini cupcakes, I HAD to blog about it! And I turned some of the matching pairs into earrings. This is one of those sets. $17.00
