Glass Bead Focal | Illusion – Long Skinny

Holly Dare — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 23:26:57 +0000

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

Mystery | Focal Glass Bead

Holly Dare — Tue, 17 May 2011 20:58:14 +0000

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!

Heart of a Tiger

Holly Dare — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:31:26 +0000

I made this ages ago when I was in my tiger phase and I liked it so much, I really pondered keeping it. It has a very different bail for me – glass is carefully folded from the top of one heart check to the other but I gave it a little twist so the heart would hang true. It’s shown here on one of my leather necklaces…sold separately. 36 mm tall including that bail. 23 mm wide. $14.99

Duo Heart – Lampwork Bead #2

Holly Dare — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:54:12 +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!
