Getting All the Storms Out of the Way - Looking Forward to A Sunny June!

Some of my clients refer to these storm beads as "bumpy beads" or "goddess beads". 

When I started this style of beads, I was intrigued by the amazing reactions created by unique combinations of glass layers.

I would name each set after a goddess name and after over 100 plus sets, I ran out of Goddess names to use.

When I opened my Pendragonfyre Etsy shop in July 2023, I needed to come up with a new name to refer to these beads... and the storm style bead was the result.

Let me point out that not all storm style beads have silver glass striated reactions under the clear portals.

This first set uses a gold pink glass by Double Helix called Eros. This glass looks like a pale lavender in the rod under shop lighting, but when struck in the flame, the glass blooms to a pink rose.

For this set, the bead started on a base of Vetrofond Pink Rose #68 on which dots of CiM Creation Is Messy white opaque named Peace were added. A layer of Double Helix Eros was added and capped with Double Helix clear Zephyr. Highlight dots of the gold pink glass complete the bead.

Next up.
This set was created on a base of CiM - Creation is Messy's Byzantium. Layers of Ivory, CiM Vampire red, along with Double Helix Terra 2 create the portals captured under clear glass domes highlighted with reduced DH BE462 dots. 

The spacer beads are pastel and transparent shades of purple.

Last one for this post.
This set started on a base of Effetre 422 Orange Tangerine. On the layer of ivory, the combination was rare CiM Black Currant and rare Double Helix Kronos. 

Clear dots captured the brilliant blue colour. Dots of Aurae complete the bead. 

The spacers are Effetre orange tangerine.

Is this Stormy Weather Good for us? Yes it is.

I think I’m beginning to grow duck feathers it’s been so wet here! 

Here on the east coast of Canada each weekend day has been filled with a gloomy forecast of rain.

Storms can have positive effects on our lives. They can:

• Strengthen us and cleanse our souls. 
• Provide water for many continents during the summer. 
• Wash away pollutants out of the air. 
• Bring rainfall to areas that need it and break up bacteria and red tide. 

All this stormy weather on my mind resulted in new storm bead sets to share with you today.

First up,
This set was created on a base of CiM - Creation is Messy's Boysenberry. Layers of Ivory, CiM Eden, along with Double Helix Psyche Light create the portals captured under clear glass domes highlighted with Aurae dots. The spacer beads are pure Boysenberry.

Next up,
This set started on a base of Effetre 39 Dark Purple Violet Glicine. On the layer of ivory, the combination was CiM Cleopatra and Double Helix BE 462 . Clear dots captured amazing silver glass storms. Dots of Aurae complete the bead.
