Blue Jean Bouquet
SOLD
10/19/05:

This set was completely inspired by fall colors that are in the catalogs and the stores. Brown, brown everywhere paired with blue. So I created this set, and then I met for brunch with a friend (Hi Stephanie!) and fellow beadmaker who happened to be wearing a brown sweater with blue jeans. Boy, what a match! So while this blue will probably go with lots of fashion options, I fell in love with how it looked with blue jeans.

These were made with hand-pulled vine cane and encased stringer to add lots of detail over the brown base.

Purple Passion
SOLD
10/19/05

I decided to sit down and create a set using the various shades of my favorite color, PURPLE, that I have acquired recently, and this set is the result. Each bead is unique in the set, and all are either decoreated and then encased or encased and then decorated. This gives the set depth and detail, which I hope you will like. I'm so biased, due to my love of purple!! So enjoy, and don't forget to check my other auctions!

Tiger Tails
SOLD
10/12/05

I am SO in love with these beads. It took me a while to get the combination that I liked best, so there's no telling how long I spent on this set. It was a bit like having a tiger by the tail. *wink* The swirled background looks a lot like tiger, but with some pink and green in there too, so I couldn't resist adding the pink and green flowers. These are BIG lentils for the chunky styles for the fall with lots of handmade details. Not for the timid! Rubino spacers are included in the auction.

Plum Delighted
SOLD
10/12/05

By now, if you have seen my work, you know how much I love purple. If not, let me tell you. I LOVE PURPLE! This set is a sleek shade of violet with these very cool hand-pulled stringers that turns a silvery sheen when I worked with them. When I took them out of the kiln, I was Plum Delighted and I hope you will be too. These are on the large side, but not as large as Tiger Tails (my other auction up this week)!

Spooky Bits
SOLD
10/5/05

Hello! Well, after some time away from the torch to avoid bursting into flame (it was a HOT summer here), I'm back at it. I've some lovely Halloween beads here that could be used as three different sets, or mixed and matched into one fun piece! All these have solid color cores and were encased in a transparent glass, and then decorated with hand-pulled stringer. Finally, they are acid-etched to a satiny smooth texture that also makes the beads look like they *glow* from the inside.

I do want you to know that in showing them to my friends, almost everyone seems to think that the orange beads (to me the look orange) and more of a red-orange, so I want to make sure you know that before bidding. On my monitor, the color of the photo is running true, but as you know, monitors can vary!

Caribbean Cruise
SOLD
10/5/05

Hello! It's good to be back on Ebay! Yes, the days of summer are waning, but it won't be long before we're all dreaming of a Caribbean Cruise! I love the way these funky colors go together. Fun little tropical chicklets!!

Garland of Daisies
STILL AVAILABLE
10/5/05

Daisies are such happy flowers and these flowers remind me of daisies! I sat down to make a small set and had so much fun, I ended up with this giant one. But hey, daisies are always in season, right?

The blue of the base glass was tough to photograph; it's actually darker blue than it's showing up here, but the glass is transparent! Just for fun, the plain beads are etched, but the daisy beads are not, adding some texture.
