I am having a wonderful time making these.. The loop extentions allow for beads or charms to be added.. making each piece that much more unique! |
|
I have found a new addiction..... making vessels! :-) |
|
I can't beleive I have let this gorgeous mustard yellow glass sit for so long.. It looks fantastic with red, orange and black! |
|
As I look through my work from 2007 I wonder if I will ever have a certain "look" to my work. So many artists focus on one certain style and I guess I just have too much to learn and too much to keep trying to ever create a "style" that will be my own. Most of my customers like that they never know what to expect from me.. I guess that is what matters.. "what I like to do...and what my customers want..right? |

I am hooked on making these disks beads and stringing them on hand dyed silk ribbons.... They are tied so that they can adjust to the desired length... |
|
I am so pleased with the way these turned out.. Dichro over black and encased in crystal clear.. Each bead was hand shaped.. |
|
Loaded with enamels and handmade twisties.. |
|
These beads are HOT!! Created on a coral base and lightly dusted with bright red enamels.. |
|
Copper green, enamels and loaded with fine silvered ivory.. |

2006 was a very inspiring year for me. It was really the first year that I felt comfortable being behind my torch and allowing my own self expression to come out. I am so thankful for the many jewelry designers that I have been fortunate enough to work with as well as the many glass artists that have encouraged me. |
|
I love the colors of these beads..The contrast between the orchid and the creamy yellow is really striking! |
