Pretty Babies Glass

large green pod.  this bead is substantial.  it is one and one half inches long but also almost an inch in diameter.   it has two stainless steel hooks in back to attach to your design.  it is like the pod series I did for the exhibit "Metamorphosis: the life cycle of the glass bead".

this bead has the personality.  It is flat on one side to rest nicely in it's place as a pendant.   You could just use a single sterling chain to  make an instant statement, or add other beads to make a louder statement.   measures about one by one.  with a hollow interior installed with spikey accents.  fully annealed moretti glass.

this slice bead does not include the chain.  I am showing it here to illustrate how you can wear it right away with your own chain, or possibly add more beads around it to make your own mark.  it's fully annealed moretti glass, polished to  a high shine.  measures about one inch.

the way the color runs through this reminds me of a winding stream of water.   measures almost 2 inches.

Festive feathers in this colorful bead add interest and intrigue.  Measures almost two inches and makes a pretty bold statement.   Made of fully annealed  Morretti glass.

This big bead had a big message as well.   A quote from Socrates, it  gently urges you to make great art.   The bead measures almost two and one half inches and is made of the soft pink and rose hues from the Macintosh rose series that dominated my beadmaking life for almost a year now!   Made of fully annealed Morretti glass.
