Older lampwork beads in my ETSY store. .

Dragon Tail | Glass Focal Bead

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

Zebra Heart | Glass Bead Focal

OMG! I thought I sold this bead at some show AGES ago. But I was cleaning out some travel boxes in my office and there she was … all by her lonesome! This bead is really striking in person…lighter on one side… darker on the other. Made to suit your moods! The darker side has a slight metallic look. Little pink flower on the upper right of each side.

 

Measures: 27.4 mm hole to hole (vertical) x 25 mm at the shoulders. 1/16th hole  (only mentioned because I often use a bigger mandrel.) If you don’t wire wrap… I do! I can turn this into a pendant for $12.00 (sterling and Swarovskis). Just ask!   1 Bead – $19.99

 

 

Pink on the Inside | Abstract Heart Glass Bead

The inside of this abstract heart shaped bead is created by multiple layers of glass… I was going for orangy pink… but I didn’t like the shape. As often happens with my beads…sometimes they just “want” to be hearts! I started messing with the shape and some of the silvered glass worked its way to the surface. In the end, I think it’s much more spectacular than I envisioned. Swirls of metallic glass with glorious pink peeking through… She’s a beauty!

Measures: 28 mm x 24 mm wide. – $15

Summer | Giant Seashell Glass Bead Focal

Another breathtaking extra large glass focal bead with stunning mother of pearl effects. Rich in high silver glass, this bead is made of four layers of glass all swirling together to create magic! There’s also quite a bit of blue stone aventurine sparkling in there and all is captured under a heavy layer of crystal clear before being lovingly hand shaped.  This bead took over 90 minutes in the flame! The photos above are in full sunlight. The bottom photo is in the shade.

 

Summer measured 40.6 mm at her shoulders (1.6″) and is 42 mm tall hole to hole. She would make a stunning focal for a beach themed necklace! 54.99

Dreamer’s Heart | Glass Focal Bead

 

 

The rich mother of pearl effect in this heart is breathtaking… kinda like waking up from a dream!

Bail hole runs side to side and this would look great on one of my friction clasp necklaces. Measures: 18  mm hole to hole (wide) from hole to hole x  25 mm  long. $15.00

 

 

Sparkling Mini Glass Bead Heart

 

 

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

 

 

 

Aqua Gold | Lampwork Glass Heart Focal

 

 

 

This is one of those beads that’s been kicking around my desk for ages because… I hate every photo I see of it! No picture seems to do it justice…so I’ll just have to hope words can do it! Those honey colored parts??? They are actually a wonderful metallic GOLD!! This baby really shimmers and catches the light! It has to be seen to be believed!

Shown on a gold friction clasp (sold separately). Heart measures 32mm from top of the bail to the tip x 22 mm wide at the shoulders. $13.99

Ruffles | Glass Button

Handmade glass button in blue and green with lots of metallic shimmer. The perfect accent for knit wear! Rustic yet elegant…  37 mm x 29 mm $15.00
