A white base is playfully striped with red diagonal lines and raised black dots. The focal bead has a red base with black and white spots scattered randomly and melted smooth. This set can be either playful or classy, depending on how you decide to accent it.

This is such a fun set, they are just full of happy colors. The set as you see it with seed beads is 7.25" long. If you string it as is, it's the perfect length for a bracelet, all you need is some stringing material and a clasp. Now that's instant gratification! It can also be made into two separate sets for maybe a matching necklace and bracelet. There are six lentil shaped beads and 4 round beads. The lentils have a white base with the wonderful colors on the surface. The round beads have a white base, the colors have been added, and then they have been thinly encased for added depth and shine.

10 lampwork beads made on a 1/16 mandrel. Six lentil beads 19mm across x 9mm thick, four round encased beads 13mm hole to hole, 14mm across.

It's autumn in Wisconsin! We've had frost advisories, and our first snow is predicted for tomorrow. Perfect timing for this set of faceted squares made Cattwalk's Deep Princess Cut press. The beads are lightly etched giving a smooth matte surface. Different glass responds differently to the etching solution. The result on these pretties is stronger etching away from the flowers, lighter etching around the petals. It looks just like frost on your windows!

Two beads in each of the three sizes: 18mm x 18mm, 15mm x 15mm, 12mm x 12mm. All three sizes are approximately 6.5 mm thick.

Another etched set! I found a new etching solution that gives a nice matte finish, but a much smoother texture. Less of a chalkboard feel and more silky, I really love it. Periwinkle lentils  are covered in swirled shades of purple and white. I can never seem to capture blues well, and monitor differences alter appearance also. The periwinkle is really nice and there are shadings from the way it reacts to the heat of the torch.

Three 19mm lentils, 4 16mm lentils. This set has 7 lampwork beads made on a 1/16 mandrel

I noticed the last several sets all seemed to be blue. Since I don't use blue often, that struck me as funny. While this set may have a bit of blue, it's aqua all the way. And the colors just say "Carnival" to me. The Cattwalk Sleek Pillow shape just adds to the fun of this set.

Total beads in this set are 5 lampwork beads, 8 lampwork spacers, all made on a 1/16 mandrel.

As colorful as these are, you'll only find grape, coral, turquoise and lime green on a black background. The main beads have all been lightly acid etched to give them a matte finish. The new etching solution allows these to remain silky to the touch. The 8 spacer beads have not been etched. If you would like these with a matte finish also, I can do that before shipping at no extra charge. You will get 4 matching pairs of main beads plus 4 matching pairs of spacers. Perfect for a necklace, or even earring sets. The set from end to end is about 5.75". Add a couple filler beads and a clasp you have a fast and fabulous bracelet!

Sizes: 8 main beads range from 10 mm to 11 mm hole to hole and 14mm to 15 mm across. 8 spacer beads range from 10 mm to 11 mm across.
