New Focal beads

I've been working on focals lately. These will be up on Ebay shortly.

New Beads

I discovered some Czar Blue, a beautiful Reichenbach glass that I must have purchased a couple of years ago and forgot about. It is a dusty blue green, really a unique color unavailable in any other glass that I am aware of. This set is mixed with Iris blue.

Z-99

Currently on EBAY

Zimmerman frit Z-99 is no longer being made and it is the most amazing glass creating wonderful reactions with other colors. I have a fair amount of it left, and maybe someone else will come out with a replacement formula. Here are my latest .

New Beads on Ebay

Some new beads just posted on EBAY

Double Helix clio

I really enjoy working with this glass, it will reduce to silver easily and the cloud effect when combined with other transparent glass is beautiful

Interesting glass combo. I love Reichenbach chocolate, it has infinite possibilities depending on how it is heated, temp of flame etc. The other day I was working with it and had a rod of red nearby and decided to see how they would go together. It was magic, such an unexpected pop of blue came out on the edges. They recently sold on Ebay, but I plan to take this combination further as soon as we get back from California.

New beads

I need to spend more time in bookstores, I've lately become an avid user of the public library and have neglected hanging out in Barnes & Noble reading magazines. There is a new Stampington publication (new to me, it has published several issues) called artful blogging. It is full of interesting blogs.

Here are a few sets of new beads I just finished, don't have them listed anywhere yet, but they will go on Ebay this week.
