Had a few Kim Neely beads from a very good friend, so I decided to finally make myself something fine ~ mighty fine. ;)

It's Not Easy Being Green

Okay, so I still have a thing for Kermit the Frog. I got all these awesome green beads from Bits O' Glass in different lots but they just looked SO good together I had to make a set out of them in honor of Kermie, my first froggie love!

The lampwork beads are accented by sterling beads, green aventurine, black onyx, white jade and Amazonite as well as sterling bead caps. the bracelet features a safety closure, the necklace features a hook and eye style clasp and the earrings have French hooks. The metal is all sterling and I almost wish I'd done this piece in gold for myself, but I only have two ears, two wrists and one neck and I've already got three suites waiting in the wings for myself as it is!

I made this suite exclusively for Indigo's in Athens, GA.

My jewelry is Bent, Warped & Twisted - just like me ;) My website and forum and online gallery are still sort of under construction but the chat room's open for business, feel free to drop by!

Many of the pieces you see here are available in my Etsy store, if there's a piece you're interested in that isn't in my Etsy store drop me a line and ask about it, I may just not have gotten around to listing it yet! I do try to put "sold" signs on the pieces that are no longer available :)

I LOVE WORKING WITH LAMPWORK. It's not just a love, it's therapy. Marrying my love of jewelry with the art of lampwork glass and wire work is cathartic, relaxing and compared to a shrink, it's CHEAP! It's also something I can do with ALL of my kids that really makes our family time especially fun, and it fosters the importance of crafting and artistic expression in them in a time when an appreciation for true quality work and attention to details seems to be falling by the wayside. When they see the work that goes into it they have a much deeper appreciation for it!

I wish I could take up the torch myself but thanks to RA and the meds I take for it playing with fire would be not only dangerous but kind of stupidly irresponsible. Besides, someone has to BUY the pretty beads that all those wonderfully talented torchers make!

I try REALLY hard to give props to the glass artists who make the beads that I use in the pieces I make and put in my gallery but if you recognize your beads in my work and for some reason I had oatmeal for brains when I did the writeup and didn't acknowledge you PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I believe in giving credit where it's due and I couldn't make a bead out of Play-Doh and I'm not going to let anyone think I made these beautiful glass jewels that permit ME to put them in pieces of jewelry. I'm very fortunate to have had just the right beads tell me to come and get them, it's a moral imperative that I give their creators the proper respect!
