Pairs for Euro Style Earrings...

These sets are great for the Euro Style hoop earrings. Buy one pair of earrings and several pairs of neat beads to change the earrings for every outfit. I love this style for myself so watch for lots of pairs this fall. From basic black, sweet pink to the very detailed designs. Cheers!

What came first the Chicken or the Lady Bug? Well if you follow my blog you know the answer is the Lady Bugs. You can find these little guys at Harlequin Beads in Eugene on Friday and the earrings will be downtown Eugene at the Imagine Gallery.

Here is a set of beads for a request. I have set aside some time to do requests and memorial beads. So if there is something special or different that you are looking for, just let me know and maybe I'm your Lampwork Artist. :)

My love for all my Orchids... Had to play. Here are the first of my Orchid Series. You can find them on  my E-bay, ETSY & Bonanza sites. They will be in the bead stores by July. :)

I have been working on some special orders for big hole beads. To just get the right size inner bead hole. Several mandrels, several attempts to find what I think looks great on all the different brands of bracelets. Wow, it was a lot of fun and has opened up a lot of different selections for all fashion jewelry out there. You can mix the glass with the wonderful silver charm beads to end up with a really fun bracelet. What is really great about beads for bracelets is that you change your outfit, change the glass selection to match. How fun is that! Here is a Garden bead with pink encased barrel spacers, shown on a Pandora Bracelet.
umm today the theme is Pretty in Pink!

Today was all about Moon Beads. I just love them. Can't wait to teach this class in June at the Eugene Glass School. It will be fun. Lots of tips on silver leaf, gold stone and fine silver wire.

Playing with Beach beads. I was asked if I could make them the right size for Pandora Bracelets.

Happy Easter

This is a zero calorie Easter Treat! A sweet little Bunny girl with a flower in her hare? And she just had to have a carrot. I truly love making Holiday beads. Next will be some Red Hats and Flowers for my Mother's Day selection.

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.
