Winter Skies and NEW Beads – 2/11/2021
Hello! Winter is winding down here in my neck of the woods. But not before bringing us some of the most spectacular sunsets I’ve ever seen living in SoCal for the past 36 years.
Maybe I’m just older now so I’m appreciating them more. Lol! 😀 Either way I am soaking it all in…even the amazing constellations in these beautifully clear skies after dark have been fabulous!
I have been happily taking advantage of this time of year by spending some time in my happy place – at the torch. It has been the PERFECT weather for bead making! I don’t even have to run my noisy portable air conditioner!
Below are a few the new beads I’ve just listed in the Lampwork Bead Market group on Facebook. If they’re still available in a couple days they’ll be listed in my Etsy shop.
I hope all is well with you and thanks so much for your continued support and interest in my beads. 🙂

NEW Beads – 9/25/2020
Hello! Well, Fall is officially here but we’re still seeing temperatures in the 90’s and next week will be 100+! 😦
Unfortunately, there are also fires still raging in the distance and the smoke and ash are being blown into our area.
I took this photo one afternoon when the smoke turned the sun an eerie dark orange.
It has definitely been a crazy summer in more ways than one!
Thank goodness for things like making beads. Being creative is very therapeutic and I’m so happy when I’m able to spend some time at the torch.
Even though the weather hasn’t changed much yet, I know the cooler weather is just around the corner!
In the meantime, I do have a few new beads available this week over on Etsy (the large marble-style bead has sold already). 
I made these during the last cool-ish days we had (when we were only around 90, haha!)
I am really enjoying revisiting some of my previous designs from the past. I call them Neptune’s Net for the embedded copper mesh.
I also am having so much fun making larger size marble/paperweight-style gazing ball pendants.
Unlike most of my charm bracelet beads, these round gazing ball beads have a small hole that can be threaded right onto any smooth chain that is about 2.5mm or smaller. I often string them on ball-chain since it has the stability to showcase these larger beads well and the glass doesn’t catch on the chain.
Another way to wear these marble style beads is to use a ‘Beadhopper’ pendant stick to display them vertically.
OR, you can do what I usually do and just leave them on your desk to look at all day long. Lol! 😀
Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day,

NEW Beads – 8/5/2020
Hello, hello! I hope all is well with you and this message finds you in good health. 🙂
Many of you know our family recently moved to a new home. Something we didn’t know until we moved in was how many rabbits there are everywhere! Occasionally I’ll wake up in the morning to see this little guy watching me through the window – haha! Good thing I don’t mind…
The past few days we’ve had a little break in the hot 100+ degree weather – which has been a welcome change!
To celebrate, I’ve put a few beads in my Etsy store on sale through the end of the month. You can find them here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CCGlassArt
This week’s NEW beads include some fun glow-in-the-dark murrini that I made recently. I’ve been tucking these special murrini into some of my beads here and there. If you soak them in a bright light for a minute then go into a dark room they glow electric blue! 😮
Here’s my current collection of beads now available in the Lampwork Bead Market Facebook Group:
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day,

Me and My Torch – Reunited! :D
Hello, hello! It has been quite a while since I last posted any new beads.
Life, for me, has taken many twists and turns during the past several months (nearly a year). From other projects taking my time and attention, to a big and complicated move to a new home, not to mention Covid, etc.
But now, finally, I am back making beads regularly and cannot tell you how happy it makes my heart to allow my creativity to flow once again.
You know how much I LOVE working with little murrini chips in my bead designs and, of course, these new beads are no exception.
I am very excited to share a few photos with you of some of my newly made beads:
