Pretty Green Earrings
This is what happens when silver foil is applied to goldstone. I like to pull stringers and make beads from goldstone chunks because the color is more intense. I made these beads using a clear base encased with goldstone stringers then wrapped in silver foil.

Sterling Silver Raku Earrings | Lampwork Beads
After I made these little cylinders, I kept them in a box on my work table. One day after they had been on my desk for a few weeks, I accidentally knocked over another box and a collection of Japanese Seed beads fell in beside the Raku cylinders. At first I was [...]
Pretty Blue Disc Earrings | Lampwork Beads Sterling Silver
These earrings can be made with two or more different color discs. If you don’t have two different colors, you can etch one disc of each pair for an interesting contrast. Here I have used Transparent Medium Blue (591054).
I find that when I close the large jump rings, if I close [...]
Raku Lampwork Swarovski Sterling Silver Bracelet
What a beauty! The Olivine, Topaz & Dark Lilac Swarovski Crystal complement the Raku lampwork beads nicely. The smaller beads on the dangle are Miyuki. The rest of the beads and spacers are sterling silver.

Caribbean Sparkles | Art Bead Earrings
I made these extra small lampwork beads on extra small mandrels. Those itty bitty mandrels that will disintegrate in the fire if held in the flame too long and often bend when beads are removed. In order for them to last longer, I try to make the beads close to the end [...]

I’ve been having a bit of a lampwork hiatus this past year, but I am ready to get back to the torch and try some new things. Thanks to my friend Vonna Maslanka – justvonna for the encouragement.
