I am endlessly fascinated with this glass that is so moody and presents endless colors in the flame. Lovingly cased with crystal clear. 65 mm hole to hole – Please see photo of indoor lighting as this bead is much darker with indoor lighting! I have done my best to represent the colors correctly presenting the darker indoor version as well as the dramatic outdoor version! $24

This was a prototype for a Memorial Glass bead I made recently. Normally, these have several colors on them to give choices to the customer and they aren’t a coherent design. But this one is lovely! 72 mm hole to hole x 6 mm at the widest point. $42.00
I really love how this long skinny glass bead came out… there’s a whole blog post about her! 73 mm hole to hole ; 14 mm wide over largest flower. $38.00


This bead makes me think of flowers from another planet… Swirling colors from a silver rich glass raked into a free form flower. $24.00
Gorgeous black bicone with a ring of silver – rich Double Helix glass, carefully reduced and cased to yield a rainbow of colors! You’ll find blue, green and even shades of yellow and pink in this beauty! 36 mm hole to hole x 18 mm wide $15

Tie Dye – Blue, lavender, olive, a dash of red, yellow and peach in a long skinny $14.00 52 mm long x 10 mm wide.
This bead is almost an 1 1/2 hole to hole. It was to be a color test for a Memorial Bead and I knew pretty early on that those lovely striations would not work… so I didn’t decorate the bead. While some may say it’s rather plain, I love the neutral colors that developed. Sometimes, simple is good. $12
This was a color test and I wasn’t certain I liked it at all…until I took it out of the kiln and saw all the pretty colors! Wow! You can bet I’ll be playing with this combo again! 35 mm hole to hole x 28 mm wide. $18
I love this set…more from the “What? Was I drinking?” series… Lots of blues and teals and creamy yellow greens. Five round beads: 2 smooth: 2 x 11, 3 ribbed: 2 x 15 mm & 1 x 14 mm $24.99
I actually made this for me… thinking it would be a nice focal for a kumihimo necklace. After months of looking at it in my bead bowl, it’s time to let it go… 37 mm hole to hole x 40 mm (1.5″) This is a nice LARGE bead. Lots of silver rich glasses, reduced and heavily encased to capture that shine and mother-of-pearl look on both sides. A swath of crinkle dichroic is down the center and a colorful sunflower wrapped around one side, blue aventurine was used for the spiral. Spirals are a symbol of the circle of life or of ‘home” and are often featured in my work. $42.00
