Rio Party Necklace|Glass Ceramic Beads

The jewelry I love to wear is always rather simple… made to show off a fantastic bead…or three! The focal bead is made by ceramic artist Tari Sasser. When I started making the Rio Party beads, I finally knew what I was going to do with Tari’s fantastic bead! As luck would have it, my friend Heidi Bond – makes gorgeous hand dyed ribbons – had the perfect ribbon to string it and 2 Rio donut glass beads on. Simple and WOW all in one! $42.00

The ribbon is about 25″ and the focal is 2.5″ long.

Blue Orange | Mini Glass Bead Set


I was testing some frits with this set.  Orange, blue, green and brown over while  Small floralsm mostly melted in on the tab. The tab is 1″ hole to hole and the rounds are 1/2″  $9.99

Fire | Mini Focal Glass Bead

Fire… This was an end of day bead using red, orange and a golden yellow… One of my all time favorite beads… just a little to small for my needs at just under one inch long and just over 1/4″  wide.

Sold

Sasha Pink Orange | Glass Focal Bead

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! In one of my favorite color combos. There is one more of these to come… fall colors… same story!
1 3/8″ from hole to hole. 1 1/8″ wide.
$18.00

Tiger Trio | Glass Bead Set

 

A few more tigers…3 bead set; 12 mm round $17.00

 

Sweet Hearts | Chocolate Glass Bead Pair

Pair of inverse matching chocolate hearts glass beads. The press I use puts a slight wave pattern in the back and I have not added my usual “puddle” of glass to the bottom sides. The decorations on top are a swirl of either blackberry or mango with a little heart in the opposite color. Great set for earrings!

12.8mm (1/2 inch) hole to hole x 16.5mm wide $10.00

Happy Heart | Giant Lampwork Glass Bead

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.

Chakra Colors | Glass Bead Set

 

The colors of the chakra can be used for meditation or in yogic practices. It is believed that – by concentrating on a color corresponding to a specific body part, healing can be achieved. The colors and their representations in the body are:

Red = Base Chakra
Orange = Sacral Chakra
Yellow = Solar Plexis Chakra
Green = Heart Chakra
Pale Blue = Throat Chakra
Dark Blue = Third Eye Chakra
Amethyst = Crown Chakra

While these beads were made with meditative intent, they can also serve as just a happy rainbow of colors on your bracelet or necklace.

These 7 Big Hole Glass Beads are a basic donut shape and measure 5 mm hole to hole x 12 mm wide. $56.00for the set of made to order beads. The Pandora is not included.

Pastel Chocolate Hearts |Candy Glass Beads

Chocolate hearts decorated in spring pastels… a lavender swirl with a coral heart motif and …vice versa. You KNOW it KILLS me to make two just a like! Perfect for earrings. This is from a new press I have… much thicker beads than I envisioned. The back has a gentle wave pattern lightly embossed in the surface…too light for the camera to see!  But discernible to the naked eye and by touch. I love these!

Pair is 12.99. Measures 15 mm from top  shoulders to bottom hole. 18 mm at widest point. 11 mm THICK.

Heart of a Tiger

I made this ages ago when I was in my tiger phase and I liked it so much, I really pondered keeping it. It has a very different bail for me – glass is carefully folded from the top of one heart check to the other but I gave it a little twist so the heart would hang true. It’s shown here on one of my leather necklaces…sold separately. 36 mm tall including that bail. 23 mm wide.  $14.99
