Trasimeno's Garden
Materials: CiM - Creation is Messy & Vetrofond Glasses
This Set is NOW Sold

To Henry James, Umbria was "the most beautiful garden in all the world."

Umbria is the geographical center of Italy, and directly in the center of
Umbria is Lake Trasimeno.
This lake's blue colour inspired many of the Italian fresco of the region. If you have a day to dedicate to leisure, take an excursion boat to one of the islands; on the largest, Isola Polvese, shady olive groves are rimmed by great sandy beaches.

This set is created with CiM's Olive & Leaky Pen paired with Vetrofond's Light Ivory opaque and transparent Green Olive.

This is the inspiration for this set.



Titan's Jewels
Materials: CiM - Creation is Messy & Double Helix Glasses
This Set is NOW Sold

In Greek mythology, the Titans were a race of powerful deities that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. Gaia (the Earth) is the primal Greek goddess personifying the Earth. She and Oranos (the Sky) gave life to the Titans.
They are the inspiration for this set.


This set of 6 focal sized beads are created from a base of CiM's Stone Ground. A custom mixture of Double Helix frit (Triton, Gaia & Psyche) was sprinkled and reduced to bring the silver infused glass to the surface. The richness of the hues was captured under an encasement of clear and light aquamarine transparent glass. Each jewel was then finished with a surface decoration of Triton glass reduced to a gleaming shine.

I have a handful of them left, so they may appear on e-bay or artfire sometime in the next week or so!

This week's current E-bay offerings are the first four sets from the torch this week!
