Beads
Soul Companion Beads
Soul Companions are handmade fine silver bead cores embellished Italian moretti glass. I meticulously carve the designs in Precious Metal Clay and then apply molten glass onto the core, spontaneously deciding on the design of the bead when behind my torch at the work bench. They are then annealed in a kiln for durability.
Garden Swirl

This bead was inspired by my mother's garden. The delicate flowers are carved into the antiqued silver core and it is decorated with swirls of blues, greens and purples as if the colors are swirling in the wind.
Measuring 1 1/16 x 5/8

Lavender Spirals and Bubbles

Spirals and bubbles is a fun bead. The silver bead core has bright silver spirals on an antiqued background. It is embellished with a soft lavender color with trapped bubbles around the middle.
Measuring 1 1/4 x 5/8

Mother's Garden

My mother has certainly found a happy place in her garden. The delicately carved flowers remind me of my mother's free spirit. The silver core has a softly brushed patina and it is decorated with diagonal crimps of varied purple glass tones.
Measuring 1 1/16 x 5/8

Lilies at Dusk

I love florals, but I do not have a green thumb except for my Lilies. They come up each year with their vibrant color. I've commemorated success with this hand carved silver lilies bead with a soft brushed patina. The glass has diagonal crimps with black, maroon, green, beige, waves of color and several other subtle hues.
Measuring 1 3/4 x 3/4
