One focal bead made from the fabulous new American glass Terranova 2. You will see blues, purples, creams and a touch of pink in this bead. It reminds me of raging seas at sunset but I'm carried away....
The bead is about 30mm in length and 10 mm at its widest point. It was wound on a 2mm mandrel.

The Devil Wears Palladium
I couldn't resist the title....
This focal bead is made from an intense black glass called Hades with touches of palladium metal and American silver glasses. This bead has a real mix of surface textures and is one of my favourites.
It is about 40mm long and 12mm at its widest part. It was made on a 2mm mandrel.

The Devil Wears Triton
Another focal bead made from Hades glass with some Triton and Psyche (both silver glasses) swirled across the surface. I love the surface effect on this bead - but like some of the others it is hard to photograph. The colours show true on my monitor but please email me if you'd like to see more photos.
The bead is about 18 mm long and 12mm at its widest part. It was wound on a 2mm mandrel.

Psychic Triton
A small focal bead made from a base of sky blue glass and a mix of American silver glass. You can't see much of the sky blue as it has reacted with the silvers to give a multi coloured mirror finish.
This bead is very difficult to photograph but the colours are true on my monitor - please email if you'd like to see some more photos.
The bead is about 24mm long and 14mm at its widest part. It was wound on a 2mm mandrel.

Ocean Depths
Five lentil beads showing beautiful blues & greens along with sandy colours and ivory built from colour reactions and silver. These beads have been encased in a very pale lavender glass so that they show more colours from the bottom of the ocean.
They are 19mm lentils wound on 1.6 mm mandrels.

Silver Cosmos
I love playing with silver! This is a small barrel shaped focal which has a base of transparent purple with swirls of silver glass and fine silver all encased in clear glass. It catches the light and looks different from all angles with deep swirls of blue on one side which trail to a point on the other side.
Beads like this are very difficult to photograph - I can email you more photos if you'd like to see more of it.
The bead is wound on a 2mm mandrel and measures about 19mm at its longest and 15mm at its widest.

Etched Lichen
This is a smooth matt set of eight small tab beads in stone colours with a matching asymmetric focal wrapped in fine silver. These would look great with a thin leather or cotton thong.
The focal bead is about 18mm long; the small beads are about 7mm by 9mm. They are all wound on 1.6mm mandrels.
