I am published again Bead Trends Magazine! TWO TIMES!!

I am so excited to share with you that my beads have been featured again in Bead Trends magazine for the issues in both August and September 2010.
Below are the sneak peeks of the issues..

August 2010 Issue - Heart of the Matador

In Jill O'Flannery art print named El Matador, the hues of gold and red capture the heart of Spain. The cape of deep red and the golden glitter of his armour-like costume immediately made me want to create this set of beads.

This large set of 15 beads was created with a base of rich shade of red glass by CiM named Sangre. Hand pulled stringers and shards of Double Helix Aurae, silver infused glass, create the dots that decorate the focal heart bead and highlight the beads in this set.

September 2010 Issue: Plaited Azure Earrings

This set of earrings feature my lampwork beads coordinated with Swarovski crystals on a textured earring findings.

Each bead was hand-formed from deep violet transparent base glass decorated with Double Helix's Psyche, silver infused glass, carefully cut and encased under clear glass to capture the iridescence of hues of blues perfect for September..


Also in the September 2010 Issue: Moonlight Sonata

This bracelet was created with 7 handmade lampwork flat tabs coordinated with champagne crystals and Sterling Silver toggle.

Each bead was hand-formed from CiM's Charcoal, a darkest grey transparent base glass decorated with silver infused glass, encased under clear glass to capture the iridescence of hues of blue and green. Hand pulled stringers and shards of Double Helix Aurae, silver infused glass, create the surface text that was then reduced to bring out the glittery goodness!


Til next post!,
