Some of my clients refer to these storm beads as "bumpy beads" or "goddess beads".
When I started this style of beads, I was intrigued by the amazing reactions created by unique combinations of glass layers.
I would name each set after a goddess name and after over 100 plus sets, I ran out of Goddess names to use.
When I opened my Pendragonfyre Etsy shop in July 2023, I needed to come up with a new name to refer to these beads... and the storm style bead was the result.
Let me point out that not all storm style beads have silver glass striated reactions under the clear portals.
This first set uses a gold pink glass by Double Helix called Eros. This glass looks like a pale lavender in the rod under shop lighting, but when struck in the flame, the glass blooms to a pink rose.
For this set, the bead started on a base of Vetrofond Pink Rose #68 on which dots of CiM Creation Is Messy white opaque named Peace were added. A layer of Double Helix Eros was added and capped with Double Helix clear Zephyr. Highlight dots of the gold pink glass complete the bead.
Next up.
This set was created on a base of CiM - Creation is Messy's Byzantium. Layers of Ivory, CiM Vampire red, along with Double Helix Terra 2 create the portals captured under clear glass domes highlighted with reduced DH BE462 dots.
The spacer beads are pastel and transparent shades of purple.
Last one for this post.
This set started on a base of Effetre 422 Orange Tangerine. On the layer of ivory, the combination was rare CiM Black Currant and rare Double Helix Kronos.
The spacers are Effetre orange tangerine.
