An End of Day bead in a bicone shape, swirls of vitrograph handpulled cane over ivory. There are a myriad of colors in this bead from a yellow / olive to copper green and teal blues… a lovely mix. Measures 1.5″ long x .5″ at the center of the bicone. See size reference photo below$14.00
This bead was originally to be an entry into the Fire Divas Team “Say it with words” bead challenge. After she came out the kiln, I didn’t like the words, so I slowly heated it up, scraped off / melted in the words, added frit and flowers and Voila! A two day bead is born! This one is in fall colors. Be sure to see the other bead I did this to… 1 3/8″ x 1 1/8″ – $18.00
This is a huge HUGE heart and will make a lovely large focal statement for a necklace. It took a long time in the flame! $45.00 Sizes coming…see reference photo below.
Opal Yellow slim focal glass bead wrapped with a dragon’s tail style cane. The cane was made with lots of rich silver glasses and sparkles as it moves! Measures 34 mm hole to hole (vertically) x 10 mm around. 1 Bead $11.99
I’ve been teasing the folks on my NEW fan page for a few days with this guy! It was unintentional…The website needed some back end coding and updating and I’m ALMOST done with that. But on to the bead:
Another high silver focal. This one is dark and mysterious…hence the name. Rich dark purples that could be brown in the right light. Smatterings of green, blue and black. Mystery is two beads in one… a split personality. One side has silver rich Murrini, the other has lost of swirls and waves. This bead is a true lentil shape and SO shiny… sure not to disappoint! 34 mm hole to hole (1.3″) x 37 mm x 16 mm thick. A little smaller than some of my more recent focals. SOLD!
This bead is a STUNNER! I’ve been staring at it for DAYS! The view on the upper left is in full sun and the right is in the shade. See below for the reverse. About the unusual name: My bestie named it! See that swirl of bluestone stringer on the upper right??? Doesn’t it look just like a catfish??? Since I’m a Southern girl who grew up with a fishing pole in her hands… it only seemed natural to name it after my favorite fish!
This bead has about four layers of glass and is decorated with multiple silver rich glasses and hand pulled blue stone full of sparkling copper matrix. There is also silver laden murrini and lots of swirls. The colors in daylight are more purple and blue. In shade the colors range from yellow to pale lavender and even pink. There is LOTS of sparkle and that wonderful mother of pearl effect I’m so in love with right now! This is a showstopper! The focal measures: 34 mm hole to hole x 37 mm long x 16 ish mm thick. $55
A heart full of rich silver glass that creates the mother of pearl sparkles under crystal clear! This would look great on one of my friction clasp necklaces. Measures: 28 mm tall x 17 mm at the shoulders. $9.00
I’ve always just loved a simple bead I can toss on a chain and just go. The beads I like are always symbolic of my mood. And since I’m often out and about with my pup, I decided to make a puppy paw bead. My favorite dog t-shirt reads “When I see a paw print, I see a heart and four arms reaching out to love me.” So naturally, I had to make the paws heart-shaped! Shown on one of my friction clasp necklaces (sold separately), this bead was made on a 1/16th mandrel. 7 mm x 14mm $6.00 or $10 with the silver 18″ chain.
Rectangular bead, brown basket weave base with lavender flowers and vine cane design. Slightly different on both sides. 20 mm hole to hole x 15mm x 10 mm thick. $7.00 |
