Writing is not my forte, jewelry design is my expertise; now glass is another story, my experience in lampworking started in July of 2006. This is just way to fun and messy!

Angéle makes beads too! Everyone was bidding on her awesome pigs, no one was bidding on her beads. This is what happened to your beads Angéle - I used this set for a tutorial, and I couldn't follow the directions, so I made up my own. The second set was used in a contest.
I only used one of your beads in the second bracelet, when will I find the time to use the others?
Thanks, Gelly...

Answer: As a jewelry designer my eye's draw me to the beauty of the bead and not the color of the rod that the beadmaker used. As a beadmaker the colors of the glass rods draw my creativity to the torch.
Answer: I have no clue what I am talking about so just wink and nod, look if you like or pass on through to the next gallery!
In about 6 more months, I may know what I am talking about!

Honest ~ I don't even think I can reproduce this. Messy aka CIM aka Creation Is Messy - this glass hades.. is excellent with working it off mandrel as it is a stiffer glass which will hold it's own out of the flame as well as intotheflame.

Ask me how great of a time I had in Scottsdale?
I went to the Indian Reservation and traded in my winning tokens for "Buttons & Beads".
Okay how lame is that?
Thank you for taking the time to peek!

You may think I am crazy, but if you see the faces, the snakes, the jackal, and that penquin sliding down having fun. Well, you are just as crazy as I am. :)

Diamonds are a girl's best friend they say - depending on how they are cut, designed and created ~ Lampwork Diamond Focal could be less expensive then that diamond & just may become your new best friend.

"The Theory of Everything"
(TOE)
is a hypothetical theory that fully explains and links together all known physical phenomena. This term stuck in in the circles within the popularizations of quantum physics to describe a theory that would unify or explain through a single model the theories of all fundamental interactions of nature.
Thus you have Symmetry vs. Asymmetry!

Did you ever get the urge to just jump ship, not clean the house ~ you know company is coming. Kids are out of school, the laundry needs to be done and just about everything else that is your responsibility "MOM" ~ stressed to the max.
A mess I had & jumping I did right to my torch area: which of course was messy too! So, I forgot to clean up ~ but look what happened to my bead.
"The Cloud over the Gelly Poked a Peacock Feather in my EyE!"

One of my better happy accidents ~ this is what happens to me when the rod breaks on the glass ~ I tried to save it so I just pulled, mushed it and stuck it in the kiln...

Pink! Perfect Circles ~ Curves generated by one point at fixed point? Huh! I calculated the circumference of these Pink Perfect Circles and they are not perfect, they are Just Pink Beads that have a lot of Pink Character.

I am so happy with how the color turned out when this set came out of the kiln - The Red is a Popper and toppers off the bead to me. Thank you for taking time to look at my beads.

I so layered and layered and layered.. I just kept going, then I did another ~ and I so do not know which is which... HA!
I do know that one has pure sterling wrapped around the side?
Does someone want to come over and organize this disorganized me? So scattered. Okay I figured it out the middle bead is different! Like the rabbit said - "I'm Late for a very important date"
Thanks for looking...
NO IT IS MORRETTI in the inside not bead release - I dremeled the whatever out of it!

"In physics, a reaction is defined by Newton's third law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". The idea that any given force has a pair or opposite force."
I so totally don't understand that phrase at all.
I also listed this bead today & decided to added this phrase to my auctions.
~A little about me you may not know ~
It's all color to me, my determination to push the limits of the glass. It really isn't about making beads, it's about finding my inner peace.~
I got metal out of the copper green glass.

The traditional "heart shape" actually is a matter of some controversy. It only vaguely resembles the human heart. Some say that it actually looks like the heart of a cow.

This tempting bead is a combination of Gelly Sty sprinkled with crunchy bits of plum silver wrapped around a lovely stainless steel ball chain packaged nicely and is delivered in a plain yellow smart mailer - deliver confirmation & hopefully handled with care by the person who brings it to your door.

Plum Barbecue Sauce
1/4 cup chopped onion;
1/4 cup butter not margarine
1/4 cup chile sauce ~ ick
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
16 1/2 ounce can purple plums, soaked, cleaned, inspected for pitts and finely shined!

Cook onion in margarine in 2 quart saucepan stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Heat to boiling; reduce heat to High. Simmer, Covered all day, & do not open the door to peak occasionally. Makes about one set of nice beads!

I really don't know how to describe this focal. I planned on doing a set the day I made this bead. Not a set on a bunch of beads on big hole mandrels but a real set that I could use in a piece of jewelry. Then my mind just went every which way ~ and I came up with this one. I see faces and stuff again~ Ugg..

"Caviar"
I love raku and I love how it reacts in the flame, should I stop or should i go on. OOOO so pretty, I want more color - then I screw it up! This bead was created with Raku Frit and I think Plum Silver.
