New Love Sonnet Sets on Etsy

New post I enjoy creating layered beads. This style I have called Love Sonnet as they create a romantic look and feel with the multi-layers of glass and colored frit.
I tumble etch each set for a tactile matte finish.

Set #1 was created with a core of Vetrofond Dark Sky Blue opaque layered with Effetre clear glass on which Val Cox Songbird frit was sprinkled and melted to a smooth finish.
The spacers are Vetrofond Dark Sky Blue.



Set #2 was created with a core of CiM - Creation Is Messy Rapunzel, a light lavender pink layered with Effetre clear glass on which Glass Diversions Himalayan Rose frit was sprinkled and melted to a smooth finish.
The spacers are CiM Rapunzel.



This last set also used a core of Vetrofond glass. In this case it is a core of 
Vetrofond Violet opaque layered with Effetre clear glass on which Glass Diversions Vineyard Vines was sprinkled and melted to a smooth finish.
The spacers are Vetrofond Violet.

Sunday Blues

In today's post, I am sharing two sets that I recently posted on Etsy.

First up is Effetre Cobalt Blue transparent with a wrap of silvered ivory stringer and 99% fine silver wire. These have a rustic antique look for silver jewelry designs.



I recently scored some old Vetrofond glass in a bundle purchase from Nortel in Toronto.
This bead set was created on a base of Vetrofond Dark Sky Blue with dots of white opaque.


These beads were tumble etched for a smooth matte finish.


I purchase my CiM glass from Jennifer and Jean at Nortel in Toronto. Reach out to them for your glassy needs.
