Glory Glass

-
This is probably one of the most glamorous set of beads I've made in some time. Full of dichroic glass and bits of palladium leaf ( a precious metal that can burn bronze and pink in the flame) and then encased to enhance the little fiery lights within. I'm in love with them..they would make a superb one of a kind bracelet..and then some. Especially with copper components.
The beads are up for auction right now until August 22nd. Just click on the image to visit the site. Enjoy your week all!..and be sure to soak up all the sunny rays you can handle.
I saw a yellow leaf yesterday.

Stunning beads Deborah!
I adore the fire from within - & that some seem to have the appearance of still being molten - yum!

I come from a long line of dedicated rock hounds. I know that because my mother  told me this one day as we walked back from getting our mail in rural Port Alberni,  BC. The 10 minute walk was sometimes much longer as we searched out special  looking pebbles or of course, the'wishing stones' which on Vancouver Island were  usually granite with a skinny stripe of quartz that encircled the entire stone. My beautiful mother who we lost in July 2023. My older sister and I. We've been lucky to bring back precious [to me] earth stones from many parts of  the world.   Lake Tiberias in Israel, Persian Gulf area, Dingle, Ireland, Isle of Sky area,  Edinburgh,  and Inverness areas in Scotland, a walk back to our hotel in  Strasbourg,  France.  The Levent Valley near Malatya, Turkey sometimes referred to as the Grand  Canyons of the Anatolia. The stone in my palm almost always brings back the day.  My regret is that I didn't label the stones in some way. Regardless, all have been
