OF THE REDWOODS ::: Another collection of my handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in my REDWOOD design... yes, I've returned to my favorite colors and designs again for another collection of my REDWOOD beads... this is a smaller or mini collection that was created with a bracelet and matching earrings in mind.

These beads were created in rich earthy colors of redwood bark browns with outlines of greens and pale organic greens on a background of sage greens and rust to darker browns... this bead collection's name is RETURN OF THE REDWOODS and these beads were created in colors that are perfect for the Fall season just ahead... but will also work year round... without a doubt, this is my favorite design and my favorite colors to work in... they are just so soothing and make one feel good!

There are 7 beads in this smaller collection of handmade artisan lampwork glass beads... to start this collection is a lentil shaped focal/centerpiece bead that measures about 24½mm x 25½mm... also included are two (2) smaller sized matching lentil shaped pair of beads that are both about 19mm... also included are two (2) matching pair of smaller round shaped beads that I had earrings and/or 'danglies' in mind when I created them... they measure about 7mm x 10mm and 7mm x 11mm... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and have all been ever so gently etched to a satin matte finish and then temporarily strung on brown satin ribbon... this strand of beads measures about 3½ inches long... just add some of your favorite accent pieces... perhaps, some copper beads and a cool copper toggle clasp or some bronze freshwater pearls along with some Bali or Thai silver accent beads and one of their gorgeous ornate toggle clasps and you will have an awesome bracelet to ring in the new Fall Season and on into Wintertime!
