G'evening!

A quick update of two auctions I have up on ebay right now... I didn't get into my blog to do this update when these auctions were first loaded (sorry 'bout that) but they are still up and available... simply click on the bead collections' titles and be taken directly to their ebay auction...

GIRLY GIRL CHIC ::: Ladies... to celebrate our feminine and girly-girl sides of our beings, here is a chic collection of handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in my GIRLY GIRL CHIC design in dazzling, fun and playful fuchsia pinks and pale pinks on backdrops of black on some of these beads, while others are done on a background of pale pinks... these are great colors for Springtime and Summer!

There are 22 beads in this collection... there are 16 lentil shapes that range in size from about 18mm to 20mm, 2 puffy pillow shapes that are 19mm to 20mm and two matching pair of round shaped beads that were created for earrings and/or 'danglies' and they are 8.5mm x 11.5mm and 7mm x 10mm... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and have been temporarily strung on ribbon and cording... this strand of beads measures approximately 14 inches long... there are a lot of possibilities with this collection of fun and playful beads... make yourself a few bracelets or, perhaps, a stunning necklace, both with either matching earrings or 'danglies' here and there within your creation(s)!

WILDWOOD SPRINGTIME ::: Spring is just around the corner... and although I have moved back to the Bay Area (the City), after living in the forest for almost two years, I still remember how gloriously beautiful Springtime was in the wilds of the Redwood Forest... to celebrate this delightful Springtime of the year, I have created a collection of handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in the colors of Mother Nature's Springtime palette... pale steel blues, rich and deep topaz browns, champagne and opal yellow on a backdrop of rainbow Raku... in my mind's eye, I can just see all the wildflowers out there in the woods, starting to wake up and pop their little heads out of the ground... Spring is THE best... everything is new and fresh and we get to start all over again! One of the greatest assets of these particular colors is that they will work all year round.

There are 21 beads in this collection... there are 13 lentil shaped beads that range in size from about 18mm to 20mm, 2 puffy pillow shapes that are 17mm to 18mm and three matching pair of round shaped beads that were created for earrings and/or 'danglies'... all of these beads are intricately decorated on both sides and have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon... this strand of beads measures about 12¼ inches long... lots of possibilities with these beads... you could make a stunning necklace or a few fab bracelets... all with matching earrings, of course, or 'danglies' at your clasp or here and there within your creation! Let your imagination take you away. :)
