Some beady stuff....pics

I've been making glass beads like crazy lately. The studio I've been renting is closed for a week though so I've been making jewellery this weekend instead. All the focal beads in these pieces are beads I made myself.

My Northern Lights beads. The first one was a screw-up, but I liked it anyway so I made more like it! There's a matching set of earrings with this one too. The green beads are Czech glass and the black pearls are hematite.

All my stuff so far.

I can't wait til the studio reopens on Thursday. My torch should be waiting for me! I have everything else set up and ready to go at home. Just need the torch and oxygen concentrator!

Those are great, i love the blue bumpy one, that's my favorite. You make gorgeous jewelry! Can't wait to see more that you make.

Beautiful work! And I love the clasp on the first bracelet--I've never seen one like it.

i want the blue bumpy one i love it

Awesome work.

I also love the blue one. are you going to sell the rest or keep them too? When I first started making jewelry I didn't want to let any of it go LOL still don't for the most part. :D

I'm keeping two bracelets. The purple one and one made with beads similar to the Northern lights ones. I'm tempted to keep that necklace, but I wear very little green! The rest are for sale. This is an expensive hobby!! I actually have an appointment tomorrow with a gift store owner who might want to carry some of my work. I have stuff in another store in town and a tourist gift shop in Dawson City.

Tamara,

Your work is beautiful - I love the green swirl bracelet (Czech crystals). If it's for sale I would be most interested in purchasing it. Sent you a pm.

Can;t wait to see more, Betty

I am interested in the light blue bumpy braclet!

Beautiful stuff. :) I love all the Czech glass pieces. :)


This one is gorgeous. :D

Wow! Those are beautiful! The one you saved for yourself is my favorite. They are all really beautiful. Are you taking orders? If so, put me in line for a bracelet :D
PS, my income tax check is in the mail ;)

Those are beautiful, I love jewelry and especially beads. :)

I love the blue swirly one best! ;) Nice work, and thanks for sharing the photos with us!

Very cool, Tamara!! You are an amazing woman, to say the least. I love your work :)

Very very nice! sending you a pm...

Those are beautiful! :) If you make anymore green bracelets let me know. I'd definitely like one.

They're all absolutely beautiful! :D My favourites are the green ones and the blue bumpy one. :D

They are beautiful. Great job on them....you sure have some talent there!!

WOW!! You are an artist!! I love it all, but the "northern lights" juwel is breathtaking gorgeous!!

I think she made the large stone.

I did. It's a clear glass base with a handpulled grass green & transparent amber twisted cane melted in. I could probably make some similar again, but it would be impossible to make a copy.

My torch arrived yesterday. Just waiting for my oxygen concentrator now, which could be here by Tuesday! Then I will be melting glass at home whenever my little heart desires! I can hardly wait!

Glad you like the bracelet, Betty!

:eek:

PLEASE be careful!

Be sure ALL you "melt" is the glass - NOT the House! :p

Do you have a decent sized (5 Pound or more) Class A Fire Extinguisher near your work area?
Remember - you're working with *FIRE*!
