Each piece is individually hand, cut, and ground, and polished on all sides before being glued back together with a permanent glass epoxy called HXTAL. I only use a water fed tile saw and a diamond grinding wheel to create these.
These might possibly be my best work of all time, I love them so much 💖
They do distract me a lot throughout the day...
Organising is going well I'd say
I do need separate sections for blak and white items but this makes my work soooo my easier as I can pull one tray out and go as opposed to 10 different bixes with different types of beads
Adjustable dividers are on the way so they wont stay all mixed up like this haha
Nothing better than rhinestones ✨
These are made using stainless steel wire (welded & soldered) with vintage Swarovski & preciosa crystal beads (no plastic or acrylics)
Such a magical touch to start the day
Original photo taken at my Dad’s place in Bar Harbor Maine. I wanted my mom to be there… so I drew her in 🩷
The simplest painting! Has never broken the handwriting, and it can be painted at once!
And the two butterflies have different color changes, which are shiny.
Great, it seems that I have another card.
I accidentally drew a star river✨
I wanted to copy the simple strokes shared by a friend, but I couldn’t draw it well, so I just painted it randomly. Unexpectedly, the final effect showed the feeling of the Milky Way.
Later, I thought about reprinting it, but I couldn‘t draw this effect.
i made this using strawberry quartz chip beads and AB coated glass beads (4mm, 6mm, 8mm rondelles and 14mm octagons). it took me roughly 5-6 hours total to put this together, although that was over the course of 3 days and doing each part in stages.
the time it took was worth it though because she sparkles like no other ✨
i am ever so slightly worried about the jump rings not holding the weight of this since it is fairly heavy with this amount of beads - but i might play around and take several strands off for some peace of mind before letting someone take it home 😅
p.s. please excuse the dusty porch, it’s been dry and crazy windy here.
