A tabular focal bead in turquoise with abstract flowers made from my own hand pulled cane, and variegated foliage in shades of green

 About 34  mm tall
made on a 3/32  mandrel

A Halloween set with a creepy spider(spiders are on both sides of the button shaped bead), a witch's  hat, a friendly ghost, a pumpkin and a silly button shaped bead with ghoulish eyes. Five accent beads in Halloween colors complete the set.

About 5 and 1/4 inches long

A set with an earthy mystical feeling, soflty etched for a velvety matte finish. The beads are lovely piney / olivey green with touches of ivory and neutrals wound through and just a touch of goldstone. The focal has a bit of silver leaf that has been burnished on and then melted in leaving just a bit of extra pattern and a bit of contrast.
A set I love and have been holding onto for a while, thinking I might make something for myself with them. The focal was made on a 3/32 mandrel and is about one and one quarter inch long. The accent beads were mostly made on 3/32 mandrels as well, though I did make a few on 1/16th mandrels thinking that they'd be nice for earrings.
The whole strand is about 6 and 1/4 inches long

A set of detailed Harvest Veggies with a tastey ear of yellow corn, a bumpy crook neck squash, a pumpkin and a green turban squash.

A focal with a little frog leaping with joy. The frog is melted in flat, like a tiny painting in glass. On the back of the bead is a flower and vine design in the same green as the frog. The background is a hand mixed shade of pale green. Two accent beads in matching glass complete the set.
The focal is about 21 mm tall.

Why Mars? For some reason that's what popped into my head when I was thinking about what to call this one. It's bold deep colors, contrasts have a strong feeling, and the little murinni lend an alien sort of look nestled into the otherworldly landscape.

The bead was made on a 3/32 mandrel and is about 34 mm long

This guy has a ton of attitude, too smug for words! He makes me think of a  rich old Victorian gent, with a swagger to go with his top hat and formal duds.
 He's a big sculpture (for me anyway) about 2 and 1/4 inches tall

A set in deep scarlet with vines and tiny snow white blossoms. A beautiful set, perfect for making earrings or bracelets, and a wonderful size for a beaded necklace!
I can see the beads paired with silver (or even some gold Vermeil ) and freshwater pearls.

The strand is about 6 inches long
