Large stepped heart beads with enamel and silver foil...

To make these shiny glass heart beads I've used pale transparent glass dusted with teal and purple enamel and lashings of silver foil....

The texture was created with the stepped heart texture plate available in my online store.

I love working with these colours, warm golden hues of amber and honey. These also have a touch of copper mica and a little bit of gold leaf. 

This trio is available in my Etsy shop

A gallery of my latest lampwork beads....

New lampwork beads...

A collection of new work all made with the concentric heart texture plate and a dusting of enamel for a subtle colour kick.

I've been playing around with adding texture to all sorts of different pressed shapes to see what looks good.

Lentil bead sets with stepped heart texture....

Pretty little heart bead sets....

These little beads sets are variations on a theme, often my brain wants to work this way, to compare and contrast similar ideas. They are all 19mm lentil beads, made with the same pale lilac glass and given heart texture with my stepped heart texture tool  but the surface decoration is all different - first enamels, then gold leaf and finally Double Helix Arke reduction silver glass. 

They are all so pretty and the pale lilac glass looks so different in each of these sets! Below is a process video on how I have achieved these effects. 

Have a great day, Jolene x

Faux Dichro chunky lentil beads with flower texture

Faux Dichro lentil beads....

I recently bought some thicker silver leaf, 51g per thousand leave rather than the 33g that I have always used.

Because thicker silver leaf stands up to the heat much better under encasement I thought I would have a go as some faux dichroic effects and made some chunky textured lentil beads, These are around 3cm across and 1.5cm thick. 

These have been given flower texture on both faces with the stepped flower texture plate.

Lampwork beads dusted with enamel....

Playing with enamels over heart texture...

I am cleaning the studio, it's a slow process as I keep discoering long forgotten glass treasures including a sample pack of Thompson enamels and my 3M respirator face mask. So  this morning I dusted my stepped heart texture plate with enamels to see what kind of effects I could achieve. These first results are promising so there will more of this sort of thing happening in the studio tomorrow!

Have a lovely eveining, Jolene xx

Tumble etched heart beads.....

Tumble etched heart imprints...

I have loved making textured tumble etched beads for a very long time and this is one of the main motivations behind wanting to design my own series of texture plates. The contrast of velvety looking matt glass and glossy glass in the recessed areas is such a pretty effect.

These encased aqua lentil beads were made with the concentric heart texture plate available in my online store www.jolenebeads.com

below are a couple of process videos showing how they were made.

Heart textured oval tab beads......

Heart texture with gold and silver leaf..

I have been experimenting a lot lately with the new texture plates and metal leaf  - usually gold leaf - but yesterday I tried out silver leaf too. I find the distressed look and touch of shine coupled with how tactile these beads are to be a really appealing combination

Have a lovely day, Jolene xx

 

And here is a look at how I make them....
