G'evening all,

As I promised yesterday, when I was in here posting these bead pictures of my most recent ebay auctions, I'm baaaaccckkk... here to add the links to these two new auctions in ebay... please click on these bead collections' titles (below in larger, different colored text) and be taken directly to their ebay auctions... the first new ebay auction...

GATHERING
OF THE REDWOODS ::: A gathering of my handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in rich earthy colors of redwood bark browns with outlines of greens and pale organic greens on a backdrop of sage greens and rust to darker browns... I have named this collection, GATHERING OF THE REDWOODS and these beads' colors are perfect shades and hues for the Fall season that is just around the corner and on into the Winter months... actually, these colors will work year round... this is my favorite design and my favorite colors to work in (no 'bout adout it)... these colors so sooth my body, mind and spirit and I hope they do the same for you.

There are 16 beads in this collection... a lentil shaped focal/centerpiece bead to start that measures about 25¼mm x 25½mm... also included are ten (10) smaller sized lentil shaped beads in some pairs and some single designs that match the focal bead... these smaller lentil shaped beads range in size from about 18½mm to about 20¼mm... also included are two (2) matching pair of smaller round shaped beads that were created for matching earrings and/or 'danglies' at your clasp or wherever else in your creation you'd like them... these smaller round shaped beads measure from about 8mm x 11mm to about 9mm x 12mm... there is also a smaller lentil shaped accent bead included that measures about 16mm that was created to be used as a 'danglie'... all of these beads have been gently etched to a lovely satin matte finish... and... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon... this strand of beads measures about 10 inches long.

RETURN
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! I had a cool bracelet in mind with matching earrings and/or 'danglies' (placed somewhere within your bracelet, or at your clasp) when I created these beads.

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!
