Cupcake glass buttons. I made some extras for a crochet class I had to teach!
3 pink and one lonely purple bellflower on anodized steel (black) wire. These can be wire wrapped onto any project. Wire is 20 gauge. $14.00
Seven bead set of graduated squeezed glass beads. The base is a rich looking white polka dots on black. The pink flowers and vine cane are on both sides of the bead. This style of bead is so comfortable to wear as a bracelet! Largest is 15 mm hole to hole x 19 mm wide. Smallest is 11 x16. $30.00
Sorry! This one is a little out of focus!
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
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
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
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
OY! I made these during my “crazy work phase” and can’t really remember what frit I used. For you glass heads… it’s most likely my friend Donna’s Purple People Eater frit over a discontinued lavender glass. It started as a lovely perfect cylinder… but you KNOW how I ADORE flat, thin beads, right??? So I squished the heck out of it and I think…it’s a lovely Easter egg! The little ribbed beads are the same glass with crystal clear casing that was ribbed in some fancy new tool I had to have… LOL! Wouldn’t they make a nice pair of earrings and a little dangle for the big focal glass bead??? ;0) The four bead set is 24.99. The focal measures 27 mm hole to hole x 21 mm wide x 7 mm thick. The ribbed beads are graduated from 9.4 – 10.7 mm. |
