I’ve been teasing the folks on my NEW fan page for a few days with this guy!  It was unintentional…The website needed some back end coding and updating and I’m ALMOST done with that. But on to the bead:

Another high silver focal. This one is dark and mysterious…hence the name.  Rich dark purples that could be brown in the right light. Smatterings of green,  blue and black. Mystery is two beads in one… a split personality. One side has silver rich Murrini, the other  has lost of swirls and waves. This bead is a true lentil shape and SO shiny… sure not to disappoint!  34 mm hole to hole (1.3″) x 37 mm x 16 mm thick. A little smaller  than some of my more recent focals.

SOLD!

This bead is a STUNNER! I’ve been staring at it for DAYS! The view on the upper left is in full sun and the right is in the shade. See below for the reverse. About the unusual name: My bestie named it!  See that swirl of bluestone stringer on the upper right??? [...]]]>

This bead is a STUNNER! I’ve been staring at it for DAYS! The view on the upper left is in full sun and the right is in the shade. See below for the reverse. About the unusual name: My bestie named it!  See that swirl of bluestone stringer on the upper right??? Doesn’t it look just like a catfish??? Since I’m a Southern girl who grew up with a fishing pole in her hands… it only seemed natural to name it after my favorite fish!

This bead has about four layers of glass and is decorated with multiple silver  rich glasses and hand pulled blue stone full of sparkling copper matrix. There is also silver laden murrini and lots of swirls. The colors in daylight  are more purple and blue. In shade the colors range from yellow to pale lavender and even pink. There is LOTS of sparkle and that wonderful mother of pearl effect I’m so in love with right now!  This is a showstopper!

The focal measures: 34 mm hole to hole x 37 mm long x 16 ish mm thick. $55

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??? [...]]]>

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.
