Studio Time: Violet and Lime Swirls

What do you do with a severe night of insomnia? Take the pile o' pretties...


String 'em ready for new home in the hands of talented designers...


I will have to do multiple posts on the beads available, but here is the first set.

I translated some simplistic floral doodles I had into glass. And my first attempts knocked my socks off. I had a concept! I was so excited. I'm still refining the swirl process and still working on getting good precision with the placement of the petals, so this is a very organic bead. I have to say though...I really really like the organic style. The bead is approximately 23mm across. It is swirled with violet, lime green, a smidge of turquoise and framed with transparent purple.


This is a set of complementary rounds in a range from 7mm -13mm. Sold separately.



Both are available in my Artfire store.

  3. Thanks, Mel & Tara - I'm excited about the floral disks, too...I have lots of experimentation to do and can't wait to develop even more. Between the swirls and florals, I think I'm found me. I would love to see what both of you could do with these beads. (I'm going to have a hard time keeping my hands off the beads in my own shop...they are so pretty...you'll see...)
