Fresh from the torch! These fabulous shades of green, yellow, cream, orange and red are bright and fun for spring. Coming this week to my website and Etsy store!

Wacky Chunkies!

Yay for new wacky chunkies in my Etsy store! Wacky chunky beads are chunky discs made by randomly combining 5-7 colors of glass and then spiraling the glass to make fabulous discs. Because of the randomness of the colors used each set (and sometime each bead) is unique. Snatch them up!

Snow, snow, snow

The most wonderful thing about being snowed in is making beads! I've been so bust this past winter making disc beads, that I've finally stopped to take some time and make some other shapes! These guys are thin sprees. The thinner size makes them lighter weight, so you can use them for earrings or a design that can't accommodate the heavier glass beads. My free bead winner this month will receive a matching pair of thin sprees...maybe the ones I make this weekend while I'm snowed in!

Smooth Chunky Discs

More new stuff for this spring are the smooth chunky discs. I used to make these a few years ago and then switched over to the bullseye discs. I thought I'd bring them back this spring, but with a twist - the second color on the rim to make them really pop. Keep your eye on my Etsy store for these discs and some other colors coming out soon.

Constellation Beads

Fresh out of the kiln are these little beauties. The idea for these beads came from a very happy accident. It combines several different colors to come up with a great bright reactive blue on a pop of orange. The black dots turned out very organically shaped and remind me of constellation drawings.
