More color, different shapes! These are more dark colors, reds, black, dark yellow, mosaic green and dark cobalt......oh and a touch of white too! Not as many colors as I usually use but still bright!

I just adore using bright colors, the more the better and if you've seen more of my work you know that already! LOL
I really love a cobalt base with these colors and these are my favorites to make!

Did I mention I love this glass?! Tribal turquoise, SIS, Dense black and Opal yellow on the focal with dense black on the spacers. I love the reaction on the spacers, very cool.

I LOVE fall in New England, the colors of the leaves, the smell of pine needles, a fire burning. I chose these colors as my favorites from fall. When I close my eyes I can picture the colors of Autumn. Reds, Oranges, browns and a bit of SIS make up this set.

I love to make these big hole beads!
I just recently started with them and have made several already. I have so many ideas in my head but only one mandrel. LOL

This set was fun, I was just messing with silver leaf and different colors. Transparent red, Ochre and Yellow Ochre, Dense black, Avocado. So I put those on some beads of Avocado with a bit of copper green which looks totally turquoise, even IRL.

This focal reminds me of a bonsai off the side of a cliff. This was the first time I used Tink Dust and it was really a neat effect.
I was just playing and this is the result.

This focal is done in the style that I've come to love and I made a little extra to go with. I love the bright colors and this uses a bunch!

This set sat for a while, it was lacking something......Etching! Once I etched it,wow, what a difference!

Ok so its a bit abstract but I like it! I used a bit of Psyche for the first time. A touch of enamel too.
The spacers have silver wire and I like that combo.

Barrel shapes in bright colors with big holes. I was just playing when I made the first one but kept on making them till I had to stop.

This set was made a little here and there. Each time I sat at the torch with no set goal I would make one of these, just playing, just fun. I love all the colors and of course I had to make spacers to match!

This set is made with Cloudy red transparent and is so beautiful, I just love this color! The spacers are cloudy red with silver and the focal is a base of Ivory with SIS, cloudy red and silver wire.

I have made quite a few of these already. My first one was a request from my Brother in Law. I had told him a bit about flameworking and he asked if I could make him a cross. I've since made him 2. I've made several for family members and friends. This first one was a suggestion from my neighbor, she brought me over a gold cross and asked if I could duplicate the design. It came out pretty close. Guess I need to get pictures of the rest of them.

SO I have all these shards that I blew a while back and never used. Seems every where you look everyone is using them so I figured I'd give it a try. A base of Avocado with silver leaf and then the shards. Not quite my style....guess I'll have to try a bit more my style next.

Ok, So I thought it would be fun to try and make some rings. Having never done it before I figured It would be pretty easy and it is. I started out simple and have been trying different things. Even more not pictured yet, but heres what I have for now. They are made with Soft glass (moretti)

Ok, I dont' remember where I saw the fire and Ice bead, probably on LE. And I dont' remember who made it, shame on me!! Here is my take on it. The flames are different and probably not made the same, I've never taken any classes so I have to figure things out myself but I enjoy that part and discover new things along the way. My thank you to the origional artist who came up with this!!

This is my first kitty. My daughter asked me to make her a dog like her own. Her dog is a very sleek looking chihuahua so I figured if I could make a cat I could get it to look close enough.....not this color tho! Figured I'd practice first! He looks a bit like a siamesse cat other than the pink nose. (got to remember not to heat the nose so much!)

Here are a few more fish. These guys are pretty small and are flat. Tied on a bit of fishing string like I just caught them! I have been thinking of etching them. Not sure, will have to think about it. I like this style tho, I think I'll try some more!

Isn't she cute?! I just love her bright red lips!
She has a fancy tail, not too big, not too small, just right for her!

Some of the new hearts I've been making. I really love the feel of these, very textured!

This little guy is SO cute! He started out to be a fish but for some reason he didn't want to be a fish, maybe he's afraid of water! SO, he is a little critter, I'm thinking hedgehog perhaps? Either way, he is adorable!

Light grass green and murrini eyes, this little fishy is so cute. Just listed up on Justbeads too!She is 46mm long and 16mm from hole to hole. I really like making fish and making a fish from a hollow was SO much fun!!

I decided as a gift for my stepmom that I would make her a horse. These are some of the ones I have made before making one that looks just like hers! I hope you like them, I am really enjoying making them!!
I will be listing some of these on JustBeads starting 09/02 under the ID Glassymom

WOW, these are fun!! They were made off mandrel and then added to a bead....directions I got off LE. I used silver glass on three and then raku on the brown one.

I love making these sets, more colors the better! Different shapes are fun too, as long as there is more color!

Ok, so this is a bit more my style, lots of colors! These are fun to make but its almost hard to break that pretty bubble! I get tempted to keep them...LOL
This one is on an orange base, I really like the orange on it and the shard looks like a heart.

I like to make focals sometimes. I don't always show them to anyone, sometimes I just put them in a drawer, sometimes I sell them.

This set uses little murrini's I made from instruction off Corinas site! They were really fun and simple to make and I have a bunch in all different colors.....some are used on this bright set!

A base of periwinkle and then you name it, probably most of the colors on my work bench! My first set made with this great new press too. (six sizes on each of 2 sides from simplylampwork.com)

Wow, I just love flowers and this is the best so far that I've done in the raised flower area. I dont' do them too much, guess if I practiced more it would get easier. There are just SO many things to try and learn.

I love the pastel colors on this set and it has cute little ladybugs and flowers. My favorite set! I love the raised designs. My favorite sets to make are full of colors and I really love the pastels.

Colors of sunset with a little sparkle of goldstone in this small focal. I can picture it hanging from ribbon with a dangly fringe of swarzski crystals, or maybe not.

This is #7, I'm really enjoying making these big chunky hearts. I picked favorite colors of my nana and added a bit of goldstone. I love this one!

I love this color, transparent red. Unfortunately I bought very little of it. I love the way the silver reacts to it.

This is the first blown vessel I've been happy with. Turquoise and SIS, keeping it simple. Now, should I etch it? hmmmmmm

Playing again! I thought a big hole bead longer that I usually make would be different. This one is made on a 1/4 inch mandrel and is 35mm long. I used my favorite ASK Desert Chameleon with some Avocado, DH Gaia, and a bit of frit, tobacco I believe. I thought of keeping it but decided to list it on Justbeads, maybe I'll have to make something similar for myself? probably!

I dont like to name my sets, I'm not good with names and I keep thinking "what if I give the bead the wrong name?" I love this little set of 2, especially the smaller bead. I used all my usual colors: what ever is in reach!

A base of yellow with loads of colors. I love making sets like this, I love the colors and the way they all go together.

When I go out to my studio to play I like to try vessels. I can't seem to keep the blown ones together but this type usually comes out great!
The little stoppers are fun to make so I just started making those too!

I make all of my glass beads in my tiny studio in Sunny Florida. I've been flameworking for just over a year now and enjoy every moment of it.
My favorite beads are loaded with color and sometimes raised designs. I love the way they feel in my hands and all the colors really make me happy!!
See something in here you like? Go ahead and email me because alot of times I still have them. I'm not really quick about listing/selling things, I'm not too computer savy! LOL So, go ahead and email me if you see something you like ok!
