Hello all,

HAPPY 1st Day of SUMMER! Hope this Summer brings you ALL the best of everything!

I just added two new auctions on ebay... simply click on the bead collections' title and be taken directly to their auction on ebay... yup, their titles are links. :)

RAINBOW RAKU ::: Happy 1st Day of SUMMER!... and to celebrate this new season, a colorful collection of handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in Rainbow Raku colors with lavenders and purples, greens and blues... colorful and fun beads for Summertime!

There are 18 beads in this collection... eleven lentil shaped beads and one pastille shaped bead that measure from 18mm to 20mm with 3 matching pair of small rounds, with earrings and/or "danglies" in mind, that measure 5mm x 9mm to 7mm x 10mm... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and some have been gently etched to a satin matte finish... they have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon and this strand of beads measures about 10 inches long.




LOVING THE REDWOODS ::: A collection of handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in my REDWOOD bead design in the gentle colors of 'redwood-bark' browns on a backdrop of earthy sage greens... living in the forest is making these colors so much a part of my life I can't seem to stop playing with them... not only do I love these colors, I also love the Redwood trees here! :)

There are 18 beads in this collection... a dozen lentil shaped beads that measure from 18mm to 20mm... also in this collection are 3 matching pair of small round beads that were created with earrings and/or 'danglies' in mind... these mini round beads measure from 5mm x 8mm to 7mm x 10mm... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and have been gently etched to a satin matte finish... they have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon and this strand of beads measures about 10 inches long... great beads for a cool necklace or a few fun bracelets... with matching earrings!




... and I've added a picture of the Redwood Groves that create my inspiration for these beads... aren't they incredible trees?!



Hoping your upcoming weekend is awesome!

Take good care, Gracie

P.S. Hi Mal... hoping all is well with you two... miss you!
