Drama Mama | Glass Bead Focal

dramatic glass bead glass bead focal

I am endlessly fascinated with this glass that is so moody and presents endless colors in the flame. Lovingly cased with crystal clear. 65 mm hole to hole – Please see photo of indoor lighting as this bead is much darker with indoor lighting! I have done my best to represent the colors correctly presenting the darker indoor version as well as the dramatic outdoor version! $20

Feathered | Large Lampwork Focal

Looking at this bead, it’s hard to believe I almost water annealed it! I hated it going into the kiln but now, I can’t stop looking at it! It’s stunning! 1 large focal bead in a variety of silvered ivory shades from blue to topaz to teal and green measuring 54 mm x 10 mm. $19.99







Simple Swirls | Glass Bead Focal

This bead is almost an 1 1/2 hole to hole. It was to be a color test for a Memorial Bead and I knew pretty early on that those lovely striations would not work… so I didn’t decorate the bead. While some may say it’s rather plain, I love the neutral colors that developed. Sometimes, simple is good. $10

Glass Paci | Bobbin Bead Pendant

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. $24.00







Elegant Beauty | Lampwork Focal Bead

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. $10
