Furniture Knobs "Romantic"

I made some knobs for furniture at the weekend which you can use to prettify it.
I decorated them with flowers with purple petals and a pink center dot. They look really special and are sure eye catchers and very individual. 
They are made on a M4 nut - I melted the glass directly on the nut - and they come together with the screw to fix them. So they are ready to use. 
Available in my etsy store.

I hope everybody has a good start into the new week. ☺️❤️

New Glass and Supplies arrived!

Finally I got my orders from Europe. I'm so happy! ☺️ A friend of mine brought it in his luggage from Overseas, because I can't buy things like that in Argentina. It's a little bit like Christmas for me.
Now I will unpack everything and store it and then I'm off to torch!

Hollow Bead Necklace "Purple"

I made a new hollow bead necklace. This time with mottled purple glass for the hollow beads and just pure purple for spacer discs which I placed in between. All beads have a mat finish.
It was a bit tricky making hollows of the mottled purple glass, because of its consistency. It's quite a while stiff in the flame and then in just one moment it gots very soft, close to juicy. While blowing the beads I had to find  the moment when the glass is just a little bit soft, so that I could blow controlling the shape of the beads otherwise they became always eggs :)

Available in my online store.

Love my customers

Finished finally a big order. Now it's time to pack all the little treasures safely in beautiful small gift cartons for their journey to Europe. 
I know that these are all Christmas gifts and I really hope that their recipients will love them. ❤️
Love my Customers. ❤️


Focal Bead in Bicone Shape "Murrini Garden"

I made this one already a couple of days ago, but didn't find the time to make photos and prepare it for publishing.
I'm really in love with this shape. I form the bicone shape completely free, just with my paddle. It's about 5 cm (2 inch) long from hole to hole, so it's not a small bead, but will give a stunning piece used for a necklace.
The base is orange red covered with dark turquoise frit. The end are also made of this turquoise color. I decorated the Lampwork focal with 16 self made murrini in blue and coral. 
Enjoy!
It's available in my etsy store!

Lentil with Stringer work

I'm really pleased with that lentil I just found in the kiln. I wasn't sure if the color combination would work and couldn't nearly wait to see it this morning. But I think the colors work pretty well.
Now I'm thinking if I should give the bead a mat finish? What do you think?
