A customer requested order of hollows…..

And a set of tortoise frit beads…
Another set of purple hollow beads…..
And a set of doodad beads. I use these for dangles and add ins, sometimes as stoppers on chains.
Got these two sets done last night.
Autumn Hollows – In vivid autumn colors. The glass has striations in it to make them look more interesting. On two, I wound thin silver glass lines around the bead and left it raised.
Another set of Space Age Retro beads. These are really fun.
A bunch of different beads I made over the last few days.
Some of my favorite beads. Opal yellow base bead with enamels and frit, along with some purple spacer beads.
These turned out kind of interesting. Thought they would be different shades of blue. Was surprised to see pink and some green in the frit too. On a white base bead.
Another set of Halloween beads. I put arms on the ghost this time.
Made these Halloween beads last night. I should have put arms on the ghost. Oops.
And played with some new frit called Muse. Used it on different base bead colors and with silver foil (last two beads).
This was supposed to be hollow but it didn’t turn out that way. Ivory glass is really soft and soupy when hot. My walls collapsed so this ended up solid instead of hollow. Good thing it’s not HUGE.
This one is a bit lighter and kind of looks like some kind of marble or rock.
I decided to try working with silver glass again. I’ve been disappointed in my results in the past. Can’t seem to get all the colors out of it like other do.
These have a silver glass core that has been heavily encased in clear. This are irregular discs that remind me of ice.
Opal yellow base bead with silver glass dots. The big blue dots are silver glass with a big dot of clear on the top.
Decided to go organic last night.
Hollow big hole bead that I added etched copper bead caps and cored with sterling silver tubing. The bead is made out of ivory with silvered ivory shards melted in and fumed with silver. Thin lines of black and dots of turquoise and black embellish the bead.
The big bead is hollow except made on a smaller mandrel. Various surface decorations on the smaller round beads and two silver glass spacers.
Have some new ones to show.
Flower Power Brights set. Strikingly bright with raise dots and other surface decorations. These are fun and whimsical.
Multi-color frit on clear glass beads. This was a tough picture to take. Different colors of transparent frit on clear glass gives these a watery look.
Some of my favorite beads. Turquoise with enamels and various frits give these texture and design.
