Glass Pearls

A beautiful little bracelet set in Sterling silver.
Thought it was high time I created a bracelet for ladies preferring something a little daintier. These gorgeous little pearl sized glass beads make up such a beautiful bracelet.
I am presently creating the beads for a matching necklace.... so watch this space.
A comissioned 'Trilogy' Pendant:

Also, a pair of 'Goccia' matching earrings:

I could get a little carried away with this new shape ..... silver rich glass with gothic black swirls decorate the surface.

Bead neglect.

Ok, I havent actually been neglecting beads. I couldnt. I haven`t been great at adding new beads to my site.

I have two new sets available to you - my lovely bead friends,

and a brand new bead shape - which I adore.

So chunky and gorgeous (unlike the description) - The barrel.

I`ve been playing with my silver glass (aren't I always!) and am so so so so pleased with what came out the kiln this morning. (Well strictly speaking I was really excited last night before they went in - reducing glasses dont change much when they have been in the kiln - but I cant get properly excited until I know they have survived the graveyard that is the kiln)


Oh lordy, I shut up now and show you........ I`m like a kid in a sweet shop!

'Mystical Barrels'


Fascinating silver blue & golden glass encased in clear. I could sit and look into them all day.

'Venus Planets'

Similar to the old favourite 'Psyche Planets' just darker and a little greener. Still as beautiful.

Hollow Beads

I had a go at making a few hollow beads and this one turned out great! It is so light and lovely to hold. It looks so fragile to me, but is not. I can see me making a lot more of these!

A new pillow bead set I`ve named 'Summer Garden'. unfortunately the photograph hasnt picked up the mirror shimmer on the glass. Its so beautiful.

New focals...

I`m not really meant to be putting anything up for sale until I have made enough beads for Nantwich Bead Fair.... but I couldn't not let you see these beauties! (Or even give one a home)
