Seven beads made in a silver glass, which have been worked to produce a red with a blue/opal haze effect.  Sizes are in the 15mm range, but do vary very slightly. 

These beads have small holes.

Eleven pale aqua beads in a round shape. The two small beads at 14mm and the three larger at 16mm have dicroic glass for a bit of sparkle and the six 11mm spacers have been etched for contrast.

These beads have small holes.

A set of five beads im what I call my Pollackesque design.  The base beads are half transparent green and half opaque pale green.  A layer of green frit has been applied then a trail of metalic stringers run around each bead.

Two small lentil shape beads measure 18mm, two mediumm nugets at 22mm and one large lentil at 24mm.   The have small holes.

Seven frittie, tyre shaped beads in a base glass of transparent lilac and overlaid with frit in tones of lilac, pale blue and royal blue.   They would make nice larger spacers or as a main attraction on a piece of jewellery. 

They measure apporx 15/16mm x 11/12mm and have small holes.

A set of six tyre shaped, transparent lime green beads overlaid with  frit in tones of yellow, peachie orange and duck egg blue.    Nice and bright, these beads would make good larger spacers or on their as the main attraction on a piece of jewellery.  They measure approx 15/16mm x 11/12mm and have small holes.

A set of seven beads, using a technique by Laura Sparling, these beads remind me of maple syrup.  They have an opaque beige base with dark amber transparent overlaid and swirled around and are approx 18mm in size.   They have a small hole.

A simple, but elegant set of five button beads.  Each bead has a stripe of silvered ivory down the middle with a little twist to set it off.  Three of them  measure 22mm and two 18mm approx.

Made with small holes.

The name says it all for this set of five button shaped beads.     Made of a deep shade of lilac, the glass has an opalescent appearance to it.  A stripe of silvered ivory with a little twist, runs down the middle of each bead .

Three are 22mm and two smaller beads are 18mm approx.   They have a small hole.

This set remind me of big, flouncy polka dot skirts, twirlling around the floor of a 1950's dance.  They have a deep red opaque core, encased with a thick coat of pink/red transparent glass.  Each bead has a different dot design.  Etched for a soft, velverty look.

They measure 16mmx12mm approx and have a small hole.

A lovely, summery set of five spotty beads.  Again they remind me of the big, flouncy skirts worn to dances in the 1950's.  They have an acid yellow core with a thick encasing of medium yellow glass.   The white dot design is the same on each bead.  Etched for a soft, velverty look.

These are 15mmx12mm approx and have a small hole.

Eight beads, with a white base, covered in a frit of my own blend of colours and encased in a clear glass.  The predominant colour is turquoise, combined  with tones of pale pink through to deep purple.

These are quite a substantial set measuring approx 17mm x 13mm.  They have a small hole.

This set of five beads are a bit different from my usual.  A base of purple frit, they were shaped and twisted and finally fumed in gold.  The gold fumes have turned them bronze but, if you look very carefully you can see the base colours peeping through.

Each bead is approx 18mm x 21mm and has been made on a small mandrel.  

Light red is the base for this set of ten beads.  They have been encased in a nice sparkly clear glass and a randem trail of clear wanders around each bead.   This has been left partly raised to catch the light.   Size is approx 14/15mm across x 10/11mm hole to hole.  Made on a small mandrel.

A harliquin set of lentil and tyre shape beads in autumnal shades of dark ruby red, purple and green.   A lentil bead and a tyre bead in each colour with contrasting  dotts.  The lentils are 18mm and the three tyre beads are 15 - 16 mm x 10 - 11 mm hole to hole.  All made on a small mandrel 

A set of five pillow shaped beads with six contrasting spacers here.  The five pillows are transparent aquamarine, overlaid with a darker transparent blue frit.  Silver leaf was melted into the glass before the frit was added giving lovely, silvery, snails trails over the beads.  The six spacers are the base glass of of aquamarine etched for a soft, contrasting effect.

Three of the pillows are 21mm square and two are 15mm square.  The spacers are 11 - 12mm x 9 - 10mm.
All made on a small mandrel

A set of nine red frit beads.  Each bead has a white base covered with red frit, then encased in a sparkly clear.  The red varies from a light red to a dark red with the white peeping out occasionally.   A randem trail of clear glass wanders around each bead, which has been left partly raised to  catch the light.    Size approx. 10/13mm hole to hole x 15/16mm across.  Made on a small mandrel.
