I especially liked the shimmer of copper and hint of gold color playing off each other in the dichroic glass. I think the dark red glass makes the dichroic show even richer in this particular piece.

The sun was shining – so I thought I should add this one to the website today. I’ve named this one “a river runs through it” – It’s two kinds of dichroic glass with glass bead accents and sterling silver wire. I included both pictures here so that I could show off the difference when this pendant is worn against dark or light color clothes. Necklace and earring set made with pink and teal glass bead dangles fixed onto a sterling silver necklace. Some of these beads are cut glass and others are lamp worked. The customer who bought this one ended up commissioning a pair of drop earrings to complement it. The irridized glass frit helps to set this one off – giving it a nice shimmer in shifting light. I had a random assortment of blue glass beads and wanted to show them off. So I started working with some silver wire and coiling them to best feature the beads in question. Here I mixed a square bead as a focal with an oval round as a dangle. This one turned out really nice, and the silver curls give it a delicate touch. This item was donated to the St Joseph’s Parish fundraiser in Oct 2007. Pendant of fused dichroic glass with silver wire and glass bead accents. A burst of autumn colors with copper wire using silver and beaded accents surrounding a dichroic cabochon. |
