MAJESTIC REDWOODS

A collection of my handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in my REDWOODS design... one of my favorites designs to create... the majestic colors of these Redwood trees, that surround us where we presently live up here in the forests of Sonoma County in California, leave one in awe! They truly are Mother Nature at her finest.

There are 15 beads in this collection... to start is a focal or centerpiece bead that measures about 25mm and to accompany it are 10 smaller lentil shaped beads that measure from 18mm to 19mm... also included are two matching pair of small round shaped beads that measure 8mm x 10mm and 9mm x 11mm... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and have been gently etched to a satin matte finish... these beads are temporarily strung on satin ribbon and this strand of beads measures just shy of 9 inches long.

G'morning all!

Just a quick update note to mention that I have added an auction to ebay and have scheduled it to start at about 6:00 p.m. tonight (Friday night). Once this auction has started, I will return with a link that will take you directly to it, but I am unable to do this until the auction starts.

Hello, I'm back with the link to this auction... please click on this beads' collection name below and be taken directly to its ebay auction...

REDWOODS ::: A collection of my lentil shaped REDWOODS design handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in the colors of 'redwood bark' reddish-brown designs against a backdrop of earthy sage greens and lighter browns... these lentil shaped beads are so comfortable to wear because of their 'flattened' shape... they are, by far, my favorite shape of bead... and... these earthy colors will work all year round!

There are 11 beads in this collection... 9 lentil shaped beads that all range in size at about 18mm to 19mm with a matching pair of small round shaped beads that are decorated with polka dots and were created with earrings and/or 'danglies' at your clasp in mind... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and have been gently etched to a satin matte finish... these beads have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon and this strand of beads measures about 6¾ inches long... the start of a lovely necklace or a couple bracelets with matching earrings or 'danglies'.

These lampwork glass beads were created by me right here in my studio on 1/16 mandrels... they have all been properly and carefully annealed in a digitally controlled kiln... they have been cleaned and are all ready for your creative ways!

Hello all!

Hoping everything is wonderful in your worlds... I've added a new lampwork bead auction on ebay tonight... please click on the 'bead collection title link' just below and be taken directly to this ebay auction...

HARVEST ::: Usually my beads are created in lentil shapes, but I was in the mood to make some round shaped beads for a change of pace. Here is a collection of my handmade lampwork glass beads in the colors of Fall with honey amber, golden champagne and pale steel blues... these beads were created with a bracelet and matching earrings and/or 'danglies' in mind.

There are 7 beads in this collection... a trio of round shaped, intricately designed beads with 4 matching small round shaped beads that have been decorated with playful polka dots... these little "polka dotted" rounds were created with matching earrings, 'danglies' and/or to go in between the three larger round shaped beads... since we've been packing to move and presently I find myself without a caliper to measure these beads' dimensions in millimeters (sorry about that), please see the pictures to the right of these beads in my hand to get a reference to their size... these are a fun set of beads to play with and were created with a bracelet in mind... let your imagination run wild... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon... this strand of beads measures about 3-1/4 inches long.

Have a wonderful week ahead and take good care.

G'nite, Gracie
