All Bullseye Glass, this set is made by first creating thin twisted strands of glass of 3 colours, neo-lavender, cyan blue and white. These "twisties" are then encorporated onto the surface of a hot molten bead, melted in and encased in clear glass. This creates a microscope sort of effect, similar to glass marbles. Unique one-of-a-kind beads.

I love the effect of emerald green transparent glass over white. When it is combined with purple, the colours really pop!

Another set inspired by a rainy afternoon watching new movie versions of Pride and Prejudice and Atonement. I named this set, The Tea Party.

Tea Party is now SOLD

Could it be named anything else but Pretty in Pink? A Beautiful Bullseye Pink glass paired with white. The chips between the beads are genuine Rose Quartz as they capture the pink colour of the beads so well.

Pretty in Pink is now SOLD

The focal beads in this set are made with Spring Violet frit from Glass Diversions.
Spacer beads are Bullseye White Glass and Purplicious, a special 2007 production rod no longer available. It is a beautiful purple opaque glass that really coordinates well with the frit beads.

Purple Voilets is now SOLD

Another special production rod from Bullseye is used in these beads. Raspberry cream is a composed of a core of white with striking Cranberry as the outer layer. As a result, beads will have a layering of the two colours making each bead unique. Four of these beads used white as a base, with the remaining using clear as the base of the bead, adding the Raspberry cream as the surface glass.

Raspberry Cream is now SOLD

Sky blue glass and white combinations, very dainty and delicate colouring. Very Pretty for wedding beads.

Shades of Sky is now SOLD

Some great dotty beads using combinations of blues and white along with a couple of gravity beads composed of transparent teals and purples.
This glass is known as Forest Mist, a limited production rod by Bullesye Glass. I experimented with this glass over clear, as well as white bases, with a hint of Robin's Egg blue in the centre bead.

Turquoise again, mixed with Ivory glass with a bit of chemistry between the metals in each colour creates the interesting reaction where the glass mixes together.

A dear friend and colleague told me about this very amusing site.
Thank you David!

I wanted to share it with everyone!

The site "The Darwin Awards" is described as "A Chronicle of Enterprising DemisesHonoring those who improve the species...by accidentally removing themselves from it! "

This brings new meaning to survival of the fittest!!

My favorite quote from the site:
"Just think how stupid the average person is,and then realize that half of them are even stupider!"--George Carlin

Have a great holiday weekend, my fellow Canadians!
