Hello everyone,

Hoping all is well with you... I have three new bead collections for sale up in ebay that started tonight (10-10-09)... two of them are 7 day auctions and one is a 3 day auction... please click on the bead collections' titles below and be taken directly to their ebay auctions... also wanted to mention (and forgot to add this to my auctions) that I would be very pleased to offer combined shipping should you purchase more than one of my auctions shown here... also, I wanted to reiterate that I will be paying for insurance on these packages until I can figure out how to handle ebay's latest change of no more optional postal insurance... so for now, insurance is on me!

FANTASY ::: A collection of my handmade artisan lampwork glass beads created in shades of colorful and playful greens on a pale greenish-teal-turquoise background... these colors and these beads' intricate decorations brought to mind one thing... F-A-N-T-A-S-Y... fairies and make-believe magical places filled with beautiful ferns, butterflies & wildflowers and other flights of imagination and whimsy... I had a bracelet in mind when I was creating these beads.

There are 5 beads in this auction... these are all lentil shaped beads and all measure about 20mm... these beads are decorated on both sides and I have provided pictures to show the front and back, along with a super close-up view and one view of them in my hand to give you a visual reference as to their size... these beads are temporarily strung on satin ribbon and this strand of beads measures about 3½ inches long.





REDWOOD FOREST ::: A collection of my favorite beads to create... handsome handmade artisan lampwork glass beads created in the colors one would find in a REDWOOD FOREST... redwood-bark brown swirls and dots decorate a backdrop of earthy and organic sage greens, rusts and golden browns... these beads will work year round, but are especially great for Fall and Wintertime.

There are 21 beads in this auction... a large lentil shaped focal/centerpiece bead that measures about 25mm x 25¾mm with a dozen (12) matching smaller lentil shaped beads that range in size from about 18½mm x 20mm... and... four matching pair of small round shaped beads that were created with matching earrings and/or 'danglies' in mind... these small rounds measure from approximately 7½mm x 10¼mm to 9¾mm x 12½mm... all of these beads are decorated on both sides and have been etched ever so gently to a satin matte finish... these beads have been temporarily strung on satin ribbon and this strand of beads measures just shy of 12 inches long.






TURQUOISE FUN ::: A fun collection of my handmade artisan lampwork glass beads created in turquoise blues and ivory with whimsical swirl and dot designs... there is a fascinating chemical reaction that occurs when the colors of opaque ivory and turquoise glass are brought together in the flame... a dark outline in created along the edge of where these two colors meet, adding yet another dimension to the look of these beads... these are fun, fun, fun beads!

There are 17 beads in this auction... there are 8 lentil shaped beads that range in size from about 17¾mm to about 18½mm... and... there are 8 turquoise round shaded spacer beads that are all about 7½mm x 10mm... all of these lentil shaped beads are decorated on both sides... all of these beads - lentil shaped and the rounds - have all be gently etched to a satin matte finish... these beads have been temporarily strung on organza ribbon and this strand of beads measures about 8½ inches long.

This is a 3 DAY auction.





Take good care and I hope your Sunday brings you ALL that is good!

G'nite all and thanks for stopping by, Gracie
