Here is the one set I have today (which is really all I managed to make yesterday, I'm not whipping beads out like a machine after all.....). These are called "Goodbye to Fall" - because after I get home from Thailand I'll be all into bright springy colors.... 12 beads (10mmx14mm) for $ 85 (SOLD)

then I have a few beads that YOU would have to turn into pendants yourself, again, about 1 inch high, more or less

For people who don't care about frogs, but like dichroic florals, here are some "raw" beads in different shapes, 3/4 inch up to 1 inch high

and finally, an encased floral heart in the same pattern/colors, turned into a pendant, because getting wire-wrapping close to the tip of a heartbead is tricky, and if you don't have the right tools, it can be a bitch (excuse my English...) this one is 1 inch high, the findings not measured

This set is called "Mixed Media" - I was just trying to come up with something other than "leftovers". Which is what these are...each bead is perfect by itself, but they were not designed to create a set, so not all of the shades of colors in this set are a perfect match, the greens are slightly different, some are made with lime green, others with emerald....but I think they could be turned into a nice necklace or bracelet anyway. 15 beads for $ 75 (size of the beads is around 8-9mm x 13-14mm)

Here is the first set of specials: Another "play" with that 1 1/2 inch lentil mold (still no pricing available on that one) - if you are familiar with a lot of other beadmakers, you might GUESS what I used for inspiration on this big lentil....It's called "Lucious lentil" - a purple core partically covered with blue-green dichroic and decorated with black swirls that "float" on the outside, reflecting back from the dichroic underneath. This lentil is 1 1/4 inch at its widest point (which shows that you can still make perfect lentils even if you don't fill the mold entirely) - and it comes with 2 earring pairs on "subtle stripes" and sparkling green lentils. $ 65 for all 3 items.

I finally have one large focal for sale - I have to say that I am now addicted to the 1 1/2 inch lentil mold. It is WAY too much fun. I made a bunch that were not quite perfect, and they went in as bonus beads for the winners of the last 2 auctions. Here is the one I liked best, still, by far no Michael Barley quality, but it's big and it's fun. By the way - 1 1/2 inch in diameter is not really THAT big. Anway, this focal is $ 35. Called "Oceanside". Very sparkly and yet organic at the same time...

The first special today is called "Temptation", because darn - I am tempted to turn it into a bracelet for myself. This is hard to resist, love the colors, textures, sizes...all about it. I will offer it here - but who knows, maybe in the time it takes for someone to email me and ask for it, I will have already turned it into bracelet # ??? (actually, the bracelets in the archives are not MINE, they are bracelets I made,  yes, but some of them I sold, a lot of them I gave away for special occasions...) But, here are the beads I am talking about. Tip of the day for beadmakers: see that sparkly lentil? it's made with pale emerald green, rolled in small silver green reduction frit (my standard frit) - lentilized, and then reduces. Very simple, but the effect is stunning. Oh, and the strand of 13 beads is $ 75 (sometimes I look around on other websites, and that's when I realize that my specials are CHEAP - in comparison to some beadmakers stuff (and expensive compared to others) - so, whenever I happened to come across one of the expensive sites (no names...but geeeee), I tend to add another 5 bucks to the price of one of my strands, just because.

The first picture shows 2 strands of beads titled "So not me". There is no better name for it, I am not a blue and not a beige person, but the color-combination is kind of cool. I would just not have anything to wear with these... The top strand has 11 beads and is $ 60, the bottem strand has 17 beads (some sliding spacers) and is $ 90.

You can tell that I was really in the blue-beige mood - I even made a whole set of lentil beads and the same colors. These should be enough for one bracelet, without the need for much inbetween, 7 beads and 8 spacers for $ 60

and finally a color-combination that I like A LOT: copper green on ink-blue. These lentils are $ 11 per bead, they consist of 3 layers of colors, to achieve that perfect purple, and they are lightly etched, to take off the scummy copper green (my etching solution is kind of old and has lost a bit of its effectiveness, which is perfect, since the beads don't have that grainy etched feel to it, they are very smooth, it was just enough to clean up the copper green). These would make a perfect watch-band, the watch face is part of this $ 75 special.
