Lampwork Bead of the Day: November 30

Tomorrow is December. Countdown!

Thought I should rise your spirits with some yummy color combos. And I think this set by Susan Lambert will put a smile on your face:

Lampwork Ruffled Discs

Aren't they cheerful!? You can fin them in Susan's Etsy shop Susan's Art.

Bead of the Day: Monday, November 28th

Happy Monday!  Today's bead is a beautiful sea bead by Susanne Folin of Bab's Beads & Design:

Sea View Handmade Lampwork Glass Bead by Susanne Folin

This bead has the right blend of ocean blue water, bright blue sky, and ivoried/silvered glass sand.  See what else Susanne has to offer in her ArtFire and Etsy shops.

Lampwork Bead of the Day: November 23

This Sunday is the first of Advent! Can't believe how quickly this semester has rushed by.

Are you getting thee holliday feeling yet? I'm slowly starting to, and will more so when the advent stars and candlesticks will decorate the house. (Do you do stars and candlesticks in the US during advent?)

And my mind turns to red. Not furiouse red, but Christmas red. Like these:

Glass Bead Pair Small Webbed Silvered Ivory 11x7mm Red

Rose from Spawn of Flame made them. She's really got the hang on wavy spacers!

Glass Bead Set of the Day 11/22

One of the things I love best about being a Diva is the sharing that goes on within the team. Lara Lutrick has been getting some amazing results with this rare glass and she shared it with us! It seems only fitting to make her colorful, inspirational set Bead of the Day!

Get 'em while you can!! This set is in Lara's Artfire shop.
