Busy in the studio this past week!

Lots of new sets this week, as I am trying out some new concepts in the flame.

Frosted Apple
Materials: Effetre and CiM - Creation is Messy Glasses

Nine of this set's beads were created on a base of Effetre White glass and encased with CiM's Appletini transparent glass.

The beads were then etched to create the frosted look that is smooth to the touch.Ten Appletini etched spacers are included in this set.

Silverdrops
Materials: Effetre, Trautman Art & Double Helix Glasses

These droplet shaped beads were created by first creating a round bead of clear glass. A droplet of silver infused glass was then added to one side of the base bead and then encased in a large droplet of clear glass to capture and magnify the silver glass encased within. There are 33 droplet beads within this set in a variety of colors and were created with 3/32" holes.

Iridescent Blush
Materials: CiM- Creation is Messy & Double Helix Glasses

This glittering set of 21 beads were created with a combination of CiM's Blush pink transparent and scrolls of Double Helix silver glass, Psyche Light.
The silver glass was reduced to bring out the irridescent metallic hues of blues, green, purples and pinks. The metallic bling seems to shift in hues when looking from different angles. Awesome Bling for this fall and winter!

Lakshmi

This set of 10 goddess series beads were created on a base of Effetre Dark Red opaque glass with layered dots of Effetre Dark Ivory and mixtures of various silver glasses.
