Lampwork Hollow Beads

This is a design that has been on my mind for months. But, as often happens, ideas don’t always come to fruition on the first attempt…or the second, or even the third attempt… In my case it took quite a while before I taught myself to make a nice hollow bead and then figured out all the details as to how to finish them so they looked the way I wanted them to.

But after much trial and error I am very happy with the results, and as a bonus they are so fun to make now. Not frustrating like they had been for so long – lol! 😀

NEW Mixed Media Lampwork Jewelry

I love the look of mixed media jewelry designs that combine earthy natural elements with more refined components. Something about the contrast between the rustic and refined is such a unique look!

I created these new glass bead pendants with hand made natural brass bead caps, pairing them with a natural brass ball chain necklace for that ‘industrial’ feel.
