Another week of flirting with springtime here - until that is, the big storms of last night!!  I managed this set on Monday and was just so pleased with the upbeat feel of the cheerfully wonderful colors.  I view this style set as a portfolio representation of many different bead styles from over the years - while all being different - sharing the beauty of transparent glass.  Lovely.
12" as strung.

PS - Fling is the name... please... glass still doesn't bounce! ; )

I love these colors - and I also love the PNW.... I remember the first time I went to Oregon... it was on the coast - and I felt as if the stars were sitting on my shoulders they were so huge and bright.  Every visit since - I've longed to someday have an extended stay there... mmmm.
Again, a myriad of shapes - and a play between lovely denim blue, colorless and a deep topaz... fun shapes - and 10"L as strung.

Delicate fine silver headpins with pinky lavender daggers, light amber ribbed collar beads and a lovely matching pair of denim blue hollows.  Since these are sterling silver - I've lined the headpins inside the hollows with non tarnishing silvery beads to aid in keeping them pristine.  These measure 2 5/8" from top to tip.

Lilly Bead Set - $70

Aah... Lilly.
Sweet little name Lilly.  I met a little Lilly last weekend who was so shy she just made us all smile.  This set is simply sweet and soft spoken - so graceful in its lines and shape... it deserved a sweet little name. 10 1/4" of tapered bicones and a 1 1/6"L focal with a sweet detail at top.  All holes are 1/16"

Apricot peach and lavender.  

Lovely Lilly.
