Named for the opitical illusion created by encasing parts of the bead in clear glass. The silver-rich glass used for the purple dots shimmers and gives off a mother of pearl effect in the light. The green dots add to the overall olive tint created by this rich ivory glass. Bead is 3 3/8″ long x “just over” 3/8″ wide. $30.00
Pair of inverse matching chocolate hearts glass beads. The press I use puts a slight wave pattern in the back and I have not added my usual “puddle” of glass to the bottom sides. The decorations on top are a swirl of either blackberry or mango with a little heart in the opposite color. Great set for earrings! 12.8mm (1/2 inch) hole to hole x 16.5mm wide $10.00
At 26 mm, this is a very tiny focal for me! But she’s still oh so lovely! Creamy blushing opal yellow base. Feathered with reactive high silver and rare glasses.
26 mm hole to hole x 9 mm wide. $12.oo
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
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 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.
Rectangular bead, brown basket weave base with lavender flowers and vine cane design. Slightly different on both sides. 20 mm hole to hole x 15mm x 10 mm thick. $7.00
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.
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
Plain Round spacers and one disk the the most luscious translucent purple. This is a rare glass, no longer available. These match my “Leaves” – White over purple lentil set coming later today. 5 beads $10 rounds are 10 mm hole to hole and the disk is 6 mm |
