These deep blues are layered with clear glass in a variety of ways.  The muted and soft browns and copper tones make the color jump out.   I was able to be at the torch today with the spring air blowing the trees in woods.  The buds are out. The birds are back and I am look straight to the opening day of the Saturday Artisan Market .   MAY 17th!!

I am having some trouble with the blog.  I am going to take it down for a bit until I can figure this out...Sorry:(

Happy Holidays!! I hope the last couple of days have been magical!! What a wonderful time of year! 

 

The blue swirl is made of a medium turquoise glass and rounded out.  I then wrapped a light transparent turquoise around it and melted it in.  It has a blue icy color and a bit of motion. 

 

 Chilly Days!! I am snowed in for the second time this week and celebrating it.  We have nearly 4 ft and is just keeps coming.  I have been able to work on jewelry and enjoy the beautiful winter blast.   My treat this year is special orders.  I am making and shipping a few special pieces that are unique.  It is challenging but rewarding. 

 Beautiful glass and surroundings to inspire!  This disc bead holiday trio is a festive earring.  Winter is in full swing here earlier than ever. It is gorgeous out! Holiday thoughts and projects are on the mind! Hope everyone has a chance to enjoy their surroundings-where ever you might be:)

 In the studio and working hard! I am at Portville Central School tomorrow for the Arts, Crafts and Antiques Show. Saturday from 9-5 and Sunday 11-4! Thing Holidays- think fun!  Hope to see you there!

The main bead was made with soft greens and dark turquoise.  I rolled it in frit and then encased it in clear glass.  The two small disc beads are of the same green and dangle above.  The entire piece is on dark brown leather cord with antiqued copper findings.  Fun, motion and beautiful....
