Sometimes, we all need a pacifier… something that brings us great comfort, right?? I love a bead I can hold and caress near my heart. Meet the Glass Paci, my version of a all grown up pacifier. It’s made of one big hole bead used as a stopper to show off a glass bead made on a bobbin. I used a rich, rare purple glass and Gaffer’s Chalcedony raku frit for a little color interest. Both are strung on a beautiful, hand-dyed ribbon in rich purples, blues, maroon and brown. Ribbon is 34″ long. Photos were taken in outdoor light and incandescent lighting. $25.00
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
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
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
Another Bicone of the glorious purple rose 31 mm (1.25″) 10 mm at the widet $14.99
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
Another of my duo hearts. I LOVE this design! Black and Ivory on one side for a basic, go everywhere kind of look. But the back, is more a wild and crazy color explosion! This particular one features lots of rich fall browns! Heart has a glass bail and measures 1.25″ tall x 3/4″ wide. $12.00
I dropped this gorgeous off mandrel gingko on a tile floor and broke off the glass bail! I was so sad! He staying on my work table for almost a year! He was too pretty to toss! I ground any sharp edges off and wire wrapped him in sterling silver, creating a generous bail. 1.5″ wide x 1.5″ tall. $24.00
