Allow me to kvetch for a moment about cameras and the color blue. Most cameras never get it right. This glass bead is a cobalt blue… like the signature in the picture. I made this focal for a piece of jewelry for the Art Bead Scene’s July ’10 contest and never found the time or inspiration to make the jewelry. C’est la vie! 35 mm hole to hole x 30 mm wide. 22.95
A dreamy mist of blues, gray and white in a long heart focal bead. Made entirely off mandrel, hot glass hanging in mid air, this bead is perfect for the Denim and Diamonds type girl. Just add it to a chain and hit the dance floor. Measures: 2″ from the top of the bail to the tip. .84″ wide at the shoulders. This hole is generous and fits our leather necklaces, friction clasp, stainless steel and the silicone as well.
I love the size and shape of this glass bead but the red didn’t strike as much as I had hoped. Still, it’s really pretty and large! Measures: 27.2 mm hole to hole x approx 19 mm wide. $15.00 $9.00 This swirling blue white and creamy glass heart pendant is a mysterious beauty! The blue is infused with a sparkly aventuring and dances in the light ! The photos do NOT do this glass bead justice! Fits the following necklace chains, sold in my findings section: Stainless steel, Friction Clasp, Measures 2.3″ from the top of the bail to the tip x 1.12″ at the widest point. $24.00
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.
January’s inspiration painting for the Art Bead Scene Contest was cold, wintry scene called The Magpie by Claude Monet. I knew right away I would attempt one of those fantastic tree beads… but I wanted a cold, translucent feeling. I made the glass bead and etched it. I found some of the new colored beading wires in shades of blue and some delicate blue opals. I had always wanted to try a design that allowed some of the beads to float and move around on the beading wire. I used crimps and crimp covers to act as “stops” for the opals. A Bali silver clasp and 10mm sterling balls balance out the design. I wire wrapped the focal art bead in 18 gauge sterling with a rosette bottom. $95.00
