A New Style of Bead

Take a look and see this new style of bead I have ventured to.........

They are a continuation of some beads I introduced during my trunk show at Ornamentea in March. It has been an interesting time of trial and error to test what designs work with what glaze, while at the same time finding color combinations that Cynthia and I can both agree on. You can find all the new stuff at Ornamentea.com.


Also available now: new colors in the small lentils, large lentils and pillow shape....



Be on the look out for more more new items - I'll let you know as they become available........

Thanks! My favorite part of all the beads is where the glaze and clay blend at the edges. It really shows off the fact that they are made of clay and seems to also highlight the handmade texture. Thanks for taking a look, send me pictures if you have some....
