New Focal Beads with Kronos 2 and Transparent Glass Streams

Today's post shares some recent focal bead designs.
Each set was created in a similar design style with a variety of rich transparent color streams.

I have recently revisited my collection of Effetre transparent colors in my designs. 
In a future post, I will share some of my insights on Italian glass and how I manage my collection which I have collected over 16 years of bead making.

Each set of focal beads were created on a base of Effetre opaque ivory with streams of rich jewel-tone transparent glass with twisted decorations of Double Helix Kronos 2 blue silver infused glass.
When dots of Double Helix's silver glass were added, the glass was fumed to a metallic sheen with lusters of blue. 

First up, the streams of deep rich Effetre Cobalt Blue #60 in these 2 focal beads.


The 3 cobalt blue spacer beads are included as a free bonus in this set!


The streams of deep rich Effetre Medium Topaz #14 in these 2 focal beads.


The dragonfly metal beads and 1 topaz spacer bead are included as a free bonus in this set!

This set of 3 focal beads Effetre Red Wine Purple #45 transparent glass. I enjoy that Effetre has a variety of purple transparent tones.

Each of these sets were posted on my Etsy shop on Feb 1st and have already been snapped up by a client. I hope to see what this talented artist creates with these beads!
