New Storm Beads - Part 3

My Storm series continues over the next 2 blog posts. I enjoy creating these beads as each combination of silver glasses can surprise me when they emerge from the kiln the following morning.

Set 1

For this set of 9 Storm beads, I used Italian medium blue transparent as the base glass. Layers of ivory glass and several layers of Double Helix silver infused glasses were carefully added.

Each bead was encased in clear glass domes and dotted each bead with more silver infused glass and reduced it to a metallic shine. 
Ten spacers of medium blue transparent are included in this set.

Set 2
For this set of 6 Storm beads, I used Italian #443 glass named Spanish Leather as the base glass. Layers of ivory glass and several layers of Double Helix silver infused glasses were carefully added.

Each bead was encased in clear glass domes and dotted each bead with more silver infused glass and reduced it to a metallic shine.

Four spacers of the red base glass are included in this set.

Clear portal glass dots were added to capture the stormed reaction of the silver glass. 
Dots of DH Elpis complete each bead.

New Storm Beads! - Part 1

Summer 2024 was busy with many activities in the garden and day-time work. 

As a result, my first step back into the glass studio since early August was this week.

I was getting low in stock for Pendragonfyre Storm Beads, so my first session at the torch was getting a few new sets created.

In this post, I will quickly recap the new sets.

Set 1
Starting on a base of CiM - Creation Is Messy Oliphant grey opaque glass, I layered dots of Effetre Light Ivory, rare CiM’s Black Currant and TAG rare Golden Emerald silver glass.

Clear portal glass dots were added to capture the stormed reaction of the silver glass. 
Dots of DH Hyperion complete each bead.

Set 2

Starting on a base of Effetre Red Roof Tile #440 opaque glass, I layered dots of Effetre Light Ivory with various Double Helix silver glasses.

Clear glass portal dots were added to capture the stormed reaction of the silver glass. 
Dots of DH Ekho complete each bead.

Set 3

Starting on a base of Effetre Black glass layered dots of Effete Light Ivory with various Double Helix silver glasses were added.

Clear glass portal dots were added to capture the stormed reaction of the silver glass. 
Dots of DH Aurae complete each bead.

I see that CiM Oliphant is showing as in stock at Nortel Glass in Toronto as of the date of this blog post. It is a SOLD OUT color on CiM's website, so definitely get some in your next glass order!

Nortel is also a Canadian supplier of Double Helix silver glasses for those Canadian bead makers who wish to purchase glass in Canadian dollars!
