The hippie chick!

(SheilaMorley)

Being a hippie...It has a fun "style". I really want to try out tye dyes with glass. We'll see. I made some dot beads that looked really cool. I thought, that looks kinda like a tye dye! So, why not? Then it became more about NOT burnnig the skin or the shirt. Building up or reducing...And, using my murrini. I see what Loren Stump was saying..."Before you know it murrinies were everywhere!"
(Don't worry Loren. She is crack free and introduced two times! And! No wafting! ;))
Peace!

Tribal Mask 2

(VivianLampworkBeads)

Another tribal mask with large hole donuts. This one's done in a lovely odd lot of glass with streaks. Someone reminded me that this one looks like malachite.

The Presence & The Absence

(Angelinabeadalina)

What happens when you lose your lifelong companion after forty or fifty years? Do you still feel that person's presence? or do you only feel the physical absence? Two beads made after hearing about another loss. Thinking about life and how to get all the different emotions distilled into glass.

Totems and Sculpture

(SherryBellamy)

I've been inspired by the bead "totems" constructed by some talented bead artists, and I've been playing with the idea myself. This one is a work in progress!

I went to Italy in May of this year to take a class with Lucio Bubacco. I've been spending a lot of time working on the techniques that I learned, trying to take them in an abstract direction. This is an entirely new world of glass for me, and I'm loving it!

~Viper~

(Fyrebeadz)

Ramesses III was the second Pharaoh of the 20th Dynasty and is considered to be the last great New Kingdom king to wield any substantial authority over Egypt. Some have put forth a hypothesis that a snakebite from a viper was the cause of the king's death but this proposal has not been proven. It is also known that he lived as long as about 2 weeks after the assassination attempt. His mummy includes a protective amulet to protect Ramesses III in the afterlife from a snakebite, which is very unusual for a pharaoh. The servant in charge of his food and drink was among the listed conspirators, but there were also some conspirators called the snake and the lord of snakes that might have been the most responsible. Perhaps his amulet is similar to this one I made. If you notice the snake like coils going around the bead. The pattern is even snake-like. And in keeping with the gestures for the kings of that era, this has been lined with copper electroforming to represent the gold which the Egyptian's so loved. I gave it a quick bath in a patina so that it has an antique look about it. March 2007

Nefertiti Traverses the Sands of Little Egypt

(Angelinabeadalina)

Nefertiti has come to Little Egypt. The Queen chooses to see what this "little" Egypt in southern Illinois might offer. She has heard of many things that might please her, many ways of this land that pay homage to her land. This will be our travel journal for the next week or so, however long it might please the regal beauty to explore with me. The heat is almost unbearable here in southern Illinois this week, and since gas costs a bit more than camel feed we may not journey all the way south to Cairo...but we will entertain you!

Eve of Christianity Christmas Eve Madonna

(Angelinabeadalina)

Would it be too much of a stretch to call that very first Christmas Eve the "Eve of Christianity"? I have to wonder what was running through Mary's mind as they approached Bethlehem. Was she in awe of what was happening? Was she frightened? Was she uncertain about the future? Was she sad because she would watch everything from the cradle to the cross? Christmas Eve, a time to ponder and wonder, a time to pause and give a moment of reverence to the Virgin.

Halloween Geisha 2007

(TracyJerrellAkhtar)

I began creating limited edition holiday geisha for Halloween and Christmas last year. The Halloween geisha for 2006 was a candy corn geisha and this year it's a witch. Only 2 were made this year and this specific design will never be recreated.

Santa & Mrs. Claus for my Mom

(Angelinabeadalina)

Winter skating park scenes with a dusting of sparkling fake snow, snow globes toys from Santa's workshop, rows of holiday coffee cups hanging beneath the upper cabinets in the kitchen, and more ornaments scattered here and there. . .my mom has quite a collection of Christmas decorations. She kinda likes my smaller beads better than my larger sculptures, so I decided I needed to make her a simple Santa and Mrs. Claus to add to the tree. Here they are, Santa with his pack on his back, and Mrs. Claus on her way to the kitchen to bake some Christmas treats.

Not-Nanas and Other Oddities

(LavenderCreekGlass)

I like to experiment with form and color just like every glass artist does. In this gallery I will show some of those experiments and ideas which have come to life. Some will become new series and I will probably make many of them over the years, others will probably never be seen again..lol!
