G'evening... or is it... G'morning :)

Hoping you are all doing great! I have a few new auctions up on ebay and wanted to share them with you... I was unable to get in here to enter these auctions when I put them up in ebay (a couple of days ago), but thought I'd add this blog entry now (late), rather than not at all... please click on the bead collection's title (below) and be taken directly to its auction in ebay...

RAKU TRIO ::: A trio (3) of my handmade artisan lampwork glass beads, which I have named RAKU TRIO... these three beads were created in the rainbow Raku shades of blues, greens, teal blues, honey golds, pinks and champagne (truly, a virtual rainbow of colors!) with decorations in pale to deep purples... these are perfect colors and hues for Winter and will also work year round.

There are 3 beads in this collection... to start is a focal/centerpiece sized lentil shape bead that measures about 23mm x 25¼mm... with 2 matching smaller lentil shaped beads that are both about 18½mm... all three of these beads are decorated on both sides and have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon... this strand of beads measures about 2¼ inches long.

This is a 3 DAY auction.




MAJESTIC REDWOODS ::: A collection of my handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in rich earthy colors of redwood bark browns with outlines of pale organic greens on a backdrop of sage greens and rust to darker browns... I have named this collection, MAJESTIC REDWOODS... these beads' colors are perfect shades and colors for the Autumn and Winter seasons right ahead... and I find these colors are so soothing to the body, mind and spirit... they're almost magical in that regard... I was thinking bracelet and matching earrings when I created this collection.

There are 9 beads in this collection... there are seven (7) lentil shaped beads, along with a matching pair of small rounds in this collection... I have added a new and very lovely lighter and pale, pale green glass to this collection (a new glass that has become available recently, that I just LOVE!)... the lentil shaped beads range in size from about 18¾mm to about 20mm... 7mm x 10mm... all of these beads have been ever so gently etched to a satin matte finish... and... all of these beads are decorated on both sides... they have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon and this strand of beads measures about 5½ inches long.

This is a 3 DAY auction.





WINTER RAKU ::: A collection of my handmade artisan lampwork glass beads in WINTER RAKU colors... shades of purples, lavenders, rainbow blues, greens, teal blues... these are all fabulous colors for Winter and also for the rest of the year because these colors are soooooooooo versatile.

There are 10 beads in this collection... there are eight (8) lentil shapes and a matching pair of small round beads in this collection... the lentil shapes range in size from about 18¾mm to 20mm... the smaller round shaped beads (which were created with earrings and/or 'danglies' in mind) measure about 7mm x 10mm... all of these beads are decorated all the way around and have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon... this strand of beads measures 6 inches long... I had a bracelet and matching earrings in mind when I was creating this collection of beads.





The first two auctions, RAKU TRIO & MAJESTIC REDWOODS are 3 Day auctions with only have about 1 day left on ebay... the last auction, WINTER RAKU, is a 7 day auction and has over 5 days left... sorry, I didn't get here sooner... but better later than not at all as they say. :)

Take good care and now it's time for this bead maker to go get some
Z-Z-Z-Z-Z's. Sweet dreams to you, too!

G'nite, Gracie
