Monocromatic large hole disk


I have made this bead some time ago but was not sure if I should keep it for myself, or sell it. It is now available in my Etsy shop.

Some new beads

This week I have not been as productive having beads available for sale, but it is because I am busy trying to develop something new in glass. The first prototypes is kinda OK, but I still need to tweak the design, so no images, lol!


Here is the last of my chunky disks. A warm set with an accent of red spirals. It is a nice graduated set, slightly smaller than my previous chunky disks. Ideal for a necklace or even a bracelet.

I love this set of chunky disks the most! The colours is ivory, muted greens, a hint of terracotta and of course the turquoise bands. Available in my Etsy store!

Weekend Beads!

Today I have some images of new earrings and some disk beads that I have added to my Etsy shop ...

A set of 14 disk beads with lots of different reds and orange in both opaque and transparent colours. They are chunky and best shown from the side. I have made some nice necklaces in the past using these types of beads.

And some earrings that is for sale in my brick & mortar shop. Sterling and Fine silver wires and beads with some tiny glass beads, all etched. Why do I prefer glass to be etched???

Ooh, and a bracelet, strung on a waxed linen string ...

Friday beads!

It is a beautiful day in the Mother City today, and we have been promised an even better (warmer) weekend. This morning the birds outside my bedroom were really chirpy. Everywhere new leaves is growing out of trees and bushes, and there is quite a few flowers opening up. I love being able to wear summer clothes again!
Here is a new bead set that I have made. Lovely chunky disks that could be used in your jewellery! I have used 6 different coloured glass, both in the opaque and transparent spectrum. By using only white, black and transparent greys I were able to create a monochromatic set that would look lovely with just about anything! It is available in my Etsy store ...
And some new earrings for my brick & mortar shop! Tiny little beads, with sterling and fine silver wires.

More Shard Beads on Etsy and a necklace


A red hollow bead necklace. I have (as with the clear one shown a few days ago) left the surface uneven, showing the layers of glass, when I built the hollows. I used transparent orange, but it looks more like a light red in natural light. It is for sale in my brick & mortar shop, but should you be interested in it, please convo me! I ship world wide ...

I have blown more shards, and this is what I came up with. I decided to blow some white glass. You guys know how soupy white glass gets when super heated? Try making a hollow on the end of the blow mandrel, hehehehe! But the results really pleased me. The beads were etched, and the white looks almost like spilled milk on the spheres. I think I need to make some for myself too ...

And a set of pressed white beads with some red, orange and yellow shards, and some micro stringer details.



Everything is available at my Etsy shop!
