Rio Ribbed Rounds| Glass Bead Set

This set of Rio Party color beads is now MADE TO ORDER. A color reaction between a rare, no-longer-made glass and two more common highly reactive glasses. There is no predicting how the colors will develop but a riot is pretty much guaranteed! You will find baby blue, purple, lavender, burnt orange, golden yellow and teal in these. I still have a few vials of the precious glass left but when it’s gone… The party will be over!

The five bead set is a smidge under 3″ long. The smaller pair are about 3/8″ and the larger three are around a 1/2″. $27.50 As always you will receive a photo of your actual beads before mailing!

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.

Water Lily Glass Bead Art Necklace

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! $145.00

Purple Wire Wrap Ring Kit

Kerry Kester Bogert is one of THE most inventive lampworkers / jewelry designers / artists I’ve never met. I talked to her online and she’s one sweet and generous lady. She wrote an article on making rings with wire and glass for Step by Step Wire last summer [sold out 8-( – Drat!]

But if you’ve ever made wire wrapped rings, you can figure this out.

This is a Make Your Own Ring Kit. I’ve made a change or two to Kerry’s idea. I used sterling because, it’s a harder wire and because I find it stays clean and shiny longer. I start out with 7.5″ of 20 gauge sterling. I melt a ball on one end and add a small Bali silver finding and one of my art glass beads. I protect the bead from the heat of the flame and ball the other end. I polish the wires to make them shine. The bead may still slide off the end without the Bali silver but will slide right back on… this won’t matter once you make your ring.

The purple bead is 4 mm hole to hole x 14 mm wide.

Kit Example

Silver balls on both ends

Simply use a ring mandrel to make the ring to your size. $13.00 Or I will make it for you for an additional $6.00.
