Hi! Welcome and thank you for clicking! Have been addicted to the flame in summer 2004. Changed my name here from beadDICT to Calypso (which is the theme for my glass beads). http://www.silkedesign.de

Very meditative to do this kind of beads. Perhaps the Yoga lessons that I have been taking for two weeks now are responsible that these came out of the kiln today?

Colorful, gold-shimmering leaves against clear autumn sky. The wind blows them in the puddles of water on the streets.

Pink - another favorite color of mine. Tried here all the different shades of pink. Reminds me of something very girlish - like ballet - its a beads ballet :-))

It's a bit like standing on a high tower and look downwards, people appear like little spots, roads, it's lively ....
Not a brand new set ... but I photographed it again yesterday since it is one of my favorite sets. Thought I could share it with you.

Yellow - Black ... like Busy Bees flying, searching for flowers ... leaving trails like painted in comics. I can almost hear this "zzzzr zzzr zrrr"

One of my favorite color combination: turquoise and brown. It's like sun, sand and sea ... I am longing for spring and summer!

I do not have to tell you that I love butterflies. Signs of the summer. So gentle, lightweight, colorful, smooth ...

It's getting colder now. Autumn. Golden Autumn. Gold, fresh and warm colors .... sometimes I even love autumn. Specially when I do not think of the fact that winter follows to autumn ;-)

Another "Thailand"-set. These are so much the colors of this island I am living right now. Green like the countless palm trees, blue like the see and the sky and a bit of yellow for the sun.

I seldom make jewelry out of my glass beads. But for a very good friend (or myself) I sometimes do exceptions ;-)
This is a bracelet that fits to my friend's Flamenco skirt.

Exciting structures. Remember me of a lunar landscape. Perhaps it looks like this when wandering on a far, far away moon, walking through a spaced scenery, watching one of the suns rising?

Those beads are so fun to make!

I love Pippi Langstrumpf ....

The brown color of the beads reminds me of the earth in Croatia, where I have been often for holidays when I was a child. With the friendly yellow, turquoise and orange it is like the earth would swing - "swinging".

I have been living on a very small island in Thailand for 3 months. Escaped the German winter time. It took some time to set-up my workshop there (oxygene had to come by nightboat from mainland, ordered a new torch from USA ...).
Needed some days to get a feeling for the flame again since I could not work at the torch for almost one year:"baby-break" ;-)
Now ... here ... one of my latest sets: TROPICAL HEAT

My new favorites. Underwater World. DH, CIM and handpulled Murrinis. Love this combination though I am not so much into blue color.
Perhaps this is the beginning of a new big love .... with BLUE ;-)

Hi,
this is just another "BEadDICT" ;-)
Have been falling in love with the flame in summer 2004.
Live and work in Bavaria ... south of Germany - somewhere between Munich and Stuttgart. Since winter 2007 I am - with 41 - no longer a happy "Single" but a Mum with a husband and a sweet little daughter. So ... as I have to share my "beading-time" lately, I enjoy even more than before working at my torch!
Thanx for clicking!
