Some more limited edition spacers.

While I have been working hard in the studio every day sometimes I forget to show you what I have been doing.  These are some of the lovely colors of glass I have had just a rod or two of for a while.
I have made up batches of spacers with it in an attempt to clean up my studio and also lighten the load of my glass case.  (It is never going to all fit in the house on wheels.)
Some of these browns are such pretty colors and I am so tempted to hunt and find more of this glass but I have been holding myself in check.
This pretty blue mix is glass I got while in Tucson about 10 years ago.  It is hand pulled gaffer glass.

Some of..........

..........my favorite glass color combo.  I made more leaves and ....
......some round beads this time.  I just love how this glass combo looks like patina covered copper.
I was trying it out with some of my limited edition spacers that I have listed on Etsy.  The leaves and beads are also listed. 

Speaking of Etsy don't forget my sale runs through the weekend. The coupon code is good from now until Sunday at midnight.  The coupon code BUYHANDMADE will get you a 20% discount on your order from my Etsy store.  If you have never used a coupon code on Etsy before you might want to review Etsy's help page on this https://www.etsy.com/help/article/350?ref=help_search_result

My fabulous customers.......

..........are at it again.  The last couple of weeks several people have sent me pictures of their lovely work that includes my beads.  I just have to show some of it off here on my blog.  Please make sure you go and check out their other work.  I have included links where I have them.
This first bracelet is from Fran Norris of lilicharms on Etsy.  She sent me links to several of her pieces that had my beads and they were all so pretty I had trouble deciding which one to show off.  Do make sure you look around her shop.  (I just found out the other beads in this creation were made by amie3 on Etsy.)
This lovely necklace and earrings is from Luann Gilliland  at LZG Beaded Designs on Facebook.  I love the red and gray together and the mix of textures adds even more interest.
This piece comes from Beth Kennedy and as you all know I love the bright colors.  These are some of my Alice's Garden flowers and she has worked in the great detail of the loops of seed beads.  Just so much fun.  Beth does not have a store but says  "It's a real hit and I love wearing it!"

That is all for today but I  have another piece I still have to show you.  Have to save a little for another day. :-) As always if you make something with my beads I would love to see it an show it off for you.

Limited Edition Spacers


 In an effort to reduce the piles in my studio I am using up some rods of glass that I have held back because they are the last of limited edition glass.  They might be the last rod or two of something that the color changed in the next batch or the last little piece of a pound from special runs.  I am going to list them on Etsy as I get them finished up.  The number of spacers in each listing is all I have left.
