Fishy sculptural beads on SALE!

Hi everyone!

A couple of years ago, I went on a fishy bead making kick, and probably made between 25-30 of them. Well, some are still taking up space in the shop, so they're heading over to our ETSY shop to find a new home. They are normally $15/fishy, but these little guys are now $5/each! Check 'em out! More to come!

More eBay listings!

We've got some more items listed on ebay this week! Lots of orphan sets, and some experimental focals. We've both been handmixing some colors, so the results will be put up on ebay at a low starting bid. Here's some glass eye candy!

Lime green rounds with purple squiggles and dots. This purple is crazy, and sometimes decides to be pink, lavender, etc.


Light turquoise rounds with purple squiggles and dots. This purple is crazy, and sometimes decides to be pink, lavender, etc.

A mix of various rounds with Jason's hand blown Dark Silver Plum shards. The shards are left slightly raised for texture.


A beautiful encased floral, with an organic swirly base. The surface has been adorned with Double Helix silver glass dots.

A simple southwest inspired scroll bead, with a light ivory base and light turquoise scrolls. One of my favorite color combinations.


Another scroll bead, the base on this one was hand mixed, and I ended up with a cool taupe color. The scrolls are light turquoise. The turquoise started to bleed into the taupe in some spots, creating a cool organic reaction.


And by the way, Spring has finally made it to NH!


Thanks for looking! :)

Deep midnight blue and silvery greens

Reduced blues and greens

Pastel purples/pinks with silvery blues and tan glass, made with a twisted stringer

Lucious dark pinks/purples with hints of honey

More new bead designs!

Jason's torching like a mad man, and has some awesome new designs!

Straited Jewel - This one's available on Etsy currently. A dark ivory base with organic swirls of silver glass, as well as raised mini black dots, and raised light purple silver glass dots capped with clear. Lots of detail!


Another pinwheel style, with a dark ivory base, oil slick silver glass in the middle, and dark red and tan pinwheels on the edge. Very bold colors in this one


An organic tube made with a silver rich twisty cane with hints of orange, greens and purples.


Jason normally makes galaxy style rounds for sets/bead pairs, but this time he made a giant focal! This bead has a black base that was covered in a sheet of fine silver leaf (see all the tiny specks of silver?) and then he added fine silver wire (see the cool "comets"!). Two corners hve been twisted and capped with fine silvered ivory dots.


Ah...scrolls, he made more colors (chartreuse, purple and black), but I took them and made them into earrings :) These have a lovely coral base, and the scrolls/dots are made of fine silvered ivory glass.


Some funky discs made with dark ivory and purple, perfect for Spring!


More scrolls! The beads are all made with the same purple glass, but the scroll rounds have been fumed by the fine silvered ivory scrolls, so they are sort of a multi-colored pastel purple.


More purple! Purple and light turquoise spacers accented with a single band of fine silvered ivory around the center.
