One World One Heart - Magic Carpet Ride

Welcome to my blog! I am excited to be a participant once again in the One World One Heart Global Blog Event. I think this is the third year that I have done this and it is a lot of fun to go around and read everyones blogs and to get a little glimpse into their world.
So look around and leave a comment with contact info on this post for a chance to win the earrings in the picture. They are handmade lampwork beads that I created and I will draw a random name on February 15th.
Also go to the OWOH website and ride the magical carpet to all the other great blogs participating. Have Fun!!!!

Pandora Beads

I made a whole slew of new pandora style beads this last weekend. I just love making them with the flowers on them and then lining them with the sterling silver. I thought about just putting them all on my pandora bracelet, but decided I should "Share them with the World" LOL. So here are a few of them. Most of them are in my Etsy store but I do have a couple on my web site and also a couple in my shop on Handmade Fusion. So go check them out as well. I just got a box of about 12 new kinds of frit yesterday and am looking forward to making new beads with it. Check back in the very near future for those. Have a great day! Pam

Sterling Silver Lined Pandora Bead

Here is what I end up with when I use all of those fancy tools. I am addicted, can you tell? :)

Sterling Silver Lined Pandora Bead

Here is a variation of the bead that I used on the bookmark in the next post. It is the same flower design just in a different shape. The first one I made I have hanging on a silver chain around my neck. Man is it pretty (humble aren't I). :) The bead is lined with sterling silver and will fit on the pandora bracelet or necklace. It has a 5mm hole so I think it will fit most of the Euro bead systems. I have 3 more of these at home that I need to get cored so do check back often. I think this is going to be one of my favorite designs to make. Altho that does change weekly it seems, so get them while you can. :) Pam

Ghosties and Pumpkins and Spiders! Oh My!

This is what I have listed this morning. The pumpkins are in this Etsy store and the ghosties are in this Etsy store...So much to keep track of. :)

Miniature Garden in Bloom - A Collaboration Project

Here is another collaboration project between two glass artists, myself and Kristy Kempinger. We are both members of the Etsy Glass Artists Street Team (EGA) www.etsyglass.com and the Lampwork Etc Street Team (LEST) www.webjam.com/lest

This miniature garden in bloom dangles unerringly from a burnished sterling silver bail. Kristy Kempinger of www.chickadeebeads.etsy.com created this gorgeous focal by decorating a transparent pearly base with subtle and delicate blue florals.The accent beads of pale transparent blue and green that I created and the various shades of pink pearls highlight the artistry of the focal without overpowering it. The focal measures approx 30mm with the overall necklace being 23 inches in length.

Whimsical, Rustic and Oh So Charming - Artisan Lampwork Glass Necklace - A Glass Artists Collaboration

I am a member of the Etsy Glass Artists Street Team and as such I have become involved in a collaboration project with Kristy Kempinger of chickadeebeads. We traded beads a couple months ago and combined them with our own creations to create a collaboration item to sell. I am still working on my projects so continue to check back for that as well. So here is Kristy's creation and her description of it. It is just beautiful.

I love combining a little of this with a little of that and ending up with alot of oh how I love it! Little glass beads, a turquoise nugget, and my handstamped sterling charm all dangle from a fine silver ring that I fused then hammered, brushed and stamped with whimsical stars and squiggly designs. I love that the process of working with the fine silver still shows~a tad on the rustic side. It's original and true, just like everything in life should be. The hand dyed silk ribbon necklace (by Etsy id 'jamnglass') is approx 20 inches in length and simply ties behind the neck. The ends are finished in simple knots with Greek ceramic beads (Etsy id 'na0sglass') that have been coated in silver. Pendant clusters hang approx 1 1/2 inches from the ribbon.Thanks to Pam Dansie (Etsy id 'mycabincreations') for the extra little sky blue glass bead that has now found a home!

A Glass Artists Collaboration - Eclectic Earth - Lampwork Glass Necklace

I am a member of the Etsy Glass Artists Street Team and as such I have become involved in a collaboration project with Kristy Kempinger of chickadeebeads. We traded beads a couple months ago and combined them with our own creations to create a collaboration item to sell. I am still working on my projects so continue to check back for that as well. So here is Kristy's creation and her description of it. It is just beautiful.

Earthy with a splash of color, this necklace features the work of two members of the Etsy Glass Artists Street Team (EGA)! Inspired by the beads of glass artist Pam of Etsy shop 'mycabincreations', I envisioned a rustic and eclectic piece that would incorporate both copper and silver. Pam's gorgeous pillow bead was created with ivory glass and features layered dots of metallic copper green and mosaic green. The focal I created with a type of glass that when worked a certain way in the torch, creates tiny bubbles on the surface that give it a lovely texture and an aged appearance. I then wrapped subtle stripes of shades of sage, caramel and a hint of blues around it. The cluster of beads hangs from a fine silver ring that I fused, hammered and brushed for a nice rustic, matte appearance. Copper and silver Greek ceramic beads, my own fine silver hammered and brushed hook clasp, and a gorgeous brown hand dyed silk ribbon that has just a bit of a bronze sheen finishes the piece. Silk ribbon necklace is approx 20 inches in length. Pendant cluster hangs approx 2 1/4 inch from the silver ring.
