My mom just finished her biggest mosaic window yet, and it’s absolutely gorgeous so I had to share!

Copper Green Implosion Pendant

I made this ages ago, I found it in a box of old stock. So I have listed it at a discounted price since it has been sitting around for so long.

Blue Swirls Focal

Blue Swirls Foca

This is a really cool technique I recently learned that's a lot easier than I expected it to be. This is the tutorial I used, I did it in soft glass instead of boro though, and I encased the entire bead at the end to give it even more of a 3D marbley type look. I used Double Helix Triton (I think you do need to use a silver glass to achieve the effect).

Opalino Blue Rounds

Opalino Blue Rounds

An opalino, I think it's called lavender blue. It's such a pretty soft colour. These are just some simple rounds... but they would make a lovely bracelet or some earrings I think.

The limey green/yellow colour is one of the moretti/effetre cool colours called venetian sunrise. Also used black, white, and a transparent dark green.

Bright & Dotty

A mix of brights, lots of bumpies!

Purple Goddess Focal Pendant

Purple Goddess Focal pendant

This is another gold pink, this one is a bit more opaque than the other and came out very purpley. The flowers are a coral odd lot, I think orange sherbet is what it is called. The pendant was finished with unknown pink stones (probably dyed I imagine) and sterling silver.

Fuschia goddess pendant

Fuschia pink goddess pendant

Rubino oro over white base, with sterling silver and unidentified pink semi-precious stones and I think some glass beads (the faceted stones I think are glass... not totally sure)

Just black glass, the nipples are poppy. Finished with copper wire and onyx stones.

Lemon & Lime

Lemon & Lime

Some great spring/summer colours! Matching the focal I posted yesterday, these beads were made with pineapple sparkle odd lot, grass green transparent, and white glass.

Lemon Lime Focal

Lemon Lime Focal

The yellow in this bead is pineapple sparkle odd lot, it actually has tiny sparkles in it if you look at it in the light. Don't know what they put in it to do that, maybe some sort of micah powder or something? It's a really pretty sunny yellow though, and I paired it with a transparent green (I think it's grass green transparent), and white. The plunged dots remind me of lemons & limes. I have a whole set of lemon lime beads coming up tomorrow that match this focal, so stay tuned for that!

Vampiric

Vampiric

A CiM glass called Sangre was used along with dark ivory and bordello frit. I think I threw in a bit of silver lake frit there too. I was listening to an audio book of Twilight while making these... which is where the name came from I suppose.

Terrain

Terrain

Some organics. Base of dark ivory and copper green, rolled in silver foil, and then encased in lots of clear to magnify all the cool reactions.

Desert Blush

Tue, 12 May 2009 16:41:24 GMT

Whew! I had a crazy weekend. I haven't had a chance to list in a few days. Here is a set I made last week. This is Canyon de Chelly, encased.

Desert Blush

These are fairly big rounds (like anything I encase usually is). See the ruler photo in the listing for size reference.

White & Topaz with Tigereye goddess

Thu, 07 May 2009 22:35:04 GMT

White & Topaz with Tigereye chips Goddess Focal Pendant

White glass base... which is so hard to photograph. I used some Ocelot Spots frit (Val Cox), and transparent topaz glass for the hair. The stone chips are tigereye which is my semi-precious birthstone (topaz being the precious one actually!)

Goddess pendant in poppy

Thu, 07 May 2009 01:03:18 GMT

Poppy Goddess

Oh, my favorite colour. It's an odd lot, a coral, a really beautiful peachy pink that is no longer available as far as I know. My stash gets smaller every time I make something with it, and every time I make something with it, I fall a little more in love with it. It's called Poppy. I love this pendant and I hope it finds a good home!

Opalino yellow goddess

Tue, 05 May 2009 21:23:59 GMT

Opalino Yellow Goddess Pendant

Opalino yellow, with sterling silver and Swarovski crystals, and some other stones that I can't identify. But I feel like they are very distinctly something, and I should know what they are. Anybody out there who can identify them? (The green stones used in this piece).

Honey Rounds

Mon, 04 May 2009 19:50:11 GMT

Honey Rounds

Ocelot spots frit (a Val Cox blend) over a white base, encased with lots of clear.

Softly

A relist today - this one got sent back to me. The first time I have had to refund somebody, it made me sad :( She said the colours weren't quite what she was expecting.

Anyhoo, they are back up for grabs. I still think these are very pretty beads, a very soft and feminine pink.

Grass green opalino goddess focal

Opalino green goddess focal pendant

This is one of the moretti opalinos, grass green opalino. Nobody seems to use the opalinos... this one wasn't hard to work with or anything though. Very pretty.
