Another long skinny using every shade of red on my table… I was distracted / mesmerized by the reaction of the high silver glass over the red… that thin line of silvered ivory is mind blowing to me!

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!

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

Shibori is form of Japanese dying – Kind of like our tye – dye but usually quite elegant. this glass bead reminds me of shibori. It is colorful and elegant. It is a long barrel focal made from a temperamental pink glass. If you know you’re going to make something mad, you might as well try to have a little fun with it, right? So, I deliberately used glasses that I thought would make that base glass react and boy did she! tones from pink, mauve, lavender to coral and olive appeared! There is a black and gold ribbon running around the bead as well. This beauty just shimmers in the light! It won’t disappoint! $32.00

This pendant is my entry into the March Art Bead Scene contest, inspired by the Van Gogh painting of the same name.

ABOUT THE BEADS: The art glass beads were handmade by me, Holly Dare of Holly’s Folly ~ Glass. The focal is made of layers of opaque and transparent teal glass for depth. The flowers are white with a bit of pink. I didn’t want the pink to overpower the piece.

The Bellflower dangle is an opaque pink on stainless steel wire.

ABOUT THE PENDANT: The upper part is a wired wonder! The flower petal shaped bail, the roller coaster swirl and the large hammered flower are all ONE piece of sterling wire! I carried out the flower motif with a smaller hammer wire flower dangling from the large one. The bellflower dangle completes the piece.
$49.00
