I’ve long had a fascination with disk beads but felt I lacked the delicate touch to make such narrow beads. After getting some advice from a friend, I sat down to make a set in one of my favorite colors. Not completely orange – there is a pink tint to these sweet little set. The strand is just over 2″ long. Made of graduated sizes, the largest beads are 6 mm hole to hole x 13 mm and the smallest are 5 x 11 mm. 10 beads $28.00
Gorgeous garden themed focal. The large oval shape is so nice in your palm. White base covered with a beautiful garden blossom frit and topped off with pink roses on squiggly vine stems. 31 mm hole to hole x 18 mm wide. $20 Purchase both the cottage garden set and the Focal and save 10%. Sorry but this offer is not available to Free Beads Gift Certificates as those must be purchased at full retail value. Purchased gift certificates may be used for this sale.
This was a color test and I wasn’t certain I liked it at all…until I took it out of the kiln and saw all the pretty colors! Wow! You can bet I’ll be playing with this combo again! 35 mm hole to hole x 28 mm wide. $18
Cupcake glass buttons. I made some extras for a crochet class I had to teach!
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
