The Much Anticipated Debut of my Beads!

As most of you know I have a wonderful hobby of making lampwork beads. It is such a great creative outlet for me. I can just sit in front of my torch for hours not thinking about anything but the glass and making it pretty. I've been meaning to post some pictures of my beads up here but I've been too busy making them! So, here are the latest in the "I'm Crazy About Dots" series.

The one on the far left has to be one of the biggest beads I've ever made. But really its only an inch and a half long. hehe

I'm planning on making these sets bigger by adding more spaces to match and selling them as a complete necklace/bracelet set. I just don't feel like putting them together. But I should be able to get some decent cash for them, right?

The glass that I used for the red, orange, and yellow are called strikers. Sometimes they turn the colors that you want, and sometimes they don't. When I was making the smaller beads to match the focal for this one the red looked exactly like the orange. So I'll have to make another one that looks red.

I've been working on my bi-cone shaped beads. I took the colors of one of my current bride's wedding and applied them to these beads. They are pretty girly but I like them!
