Zebra Heart | Glass Bead Focal

Holly Dare — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 19:07:43 +0000

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

Holly Dare — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:22:00 +0000

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

Holly Dare — Thu, 12 May 2011 23:22:46 +0000

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

Holly Dare — Mon, 09 May 2011 17:32:15 +0000

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

An Egg…Kinda | Glass Bead Set

Holly Dare — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 23:35:13 +0000

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.

Water Lily Glass Bead Art Necklace

Holly Dare — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 22:50:50 +0000

This is a really stunning, eye-catching necklace! It was one of my Art Bead Scene entries last year and you can read about it here. I often keep things that took me considerable time and effort just to admire them. I often don’t feel I’m “ready” to part with them but… a girl has to make a living.

In addition to the water lily focal and lily pads – made by me, this necklace features a variety of green, pink, purple and blue handmade lampwork beads by a number of other artists. There are almost 100 genuine Swarovski crystals and a smattering of Bali silver and E beads. This piece was inspired by the painting Water Lilies by Monet. The perfect gift for a woman who loves fun, unique jewelry and art! $165.00

Duo Heart – Glass Bead 1

Holly Dare — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:49:04 +0000

I’ve been pulling pounds of ivory and black stringer for all those glass tiger beads I’ve been working on… and when I have a clump of such gorgeous contrast on the end of my pull rods, I can’t stand to waste it! So I make little hearts. I was struck by how elegant and plain they look and… well, I just could live with that! So I added frit – but ONLY to one side of the bead! So these glass beads have a split personality! One side is understated black and pale ivory, the other will have an explosion of color! Wear whichever side suits your mood!

Duo Split Personality Heart #1 is pink and lavender on the reverse and measures 17 mm wide x 22 mm tall including glass bail. $12.00

Fruit Salad Lentils – Glass Bead Mini Set

Cupcake Mini – Earrings

Shibori Beauty Glass Focal Bead

Holly Dare — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:59:00 +0000

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

Photos above show three views of the same bead.

Measures 53mm hole to hole x 11 mm wide.

Almond Blossoms – Lampwork Glass Bead Pendant

Holly Dare — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 04:35:57 +0000

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

Large Truffle Focal Glass Bead

Holly Dare — Sat, 08 May 2010 18:54:07 +0000

I had a customer request a larger focal to match her earrings. I had never thought of doing a larger truffle for a pendant. I liked it so much, I made two. You can see hers HERE. 1/2″ hole to hole x almost 5/8″.

1 focal $10.00 I will wire wrap for an additional 12.00 – just ask.
