Sunset Beach. I love making these little Beach treasures. Here is one from this morning. It has sea urchins, a star fish, the palm tree and the sun set. All on a bead with the rolling waves. This one is listed this week in my E-bay shop.

Playing with Roses

I love how the red turned out in these roses. I will have to play with this color combo a lot!!

I've been working with Gaffer Glass for a class that I will be teaching at the University of Oregon later this month. I love how the silver leaf leaves a layer in the waves of this bead. You can see many of the test beads for sale on E-bay seller "Sailthee" or on ETSY under Simply Lampwork

So walking by yard between the rain down pours... and it has been down pours. Sorry to say there are floods in our area. Well back to my yard. There are so many flower bulbs peeking up from the ground. I had to go back inside and play with the flower bulb idea. This Daffodil and Lady Bug will be listed on my web site. Others will be listed on E-bay and ETSY. 

New Moon Beads

I have been playing with lots of Moon's in lots of colors. I will be teaching a 3 week class at the University of Oregon starting Feb 22. The class will focus on Moon Scape Beads. We will also play with a bit of silver leaf and fine silver wire. Glass is so much fun to mess with.

Love this one..

I have posted this bead on ETSY,  I really like how the lacy flower has a dew drop on the petal. It makes it a very delicate flower. The layers of transparent glass in the lacy flower also gives it a light fairy style.

Ducks & Roses

Just had to make up some Roses and Ducks.

Contact me if you would like an order prior to the big game.

Fire is such a fun bead to make. It takes a lot of time to play and get all this color to blend and flow. The deal is the colors all look the same in the live torch fire, even the black looks red hot. This one I have posted on my ETSY site.

A good vacation is always inspiration! So enjoy the surf, sand and sun. More in this series to come.
