New beads - peacock feather design

Peacock feather beads...

I have been working n a new design, this week, adding peacock feathers to the surface or some of my large pressed bead shapes.

I have set a cubic zirconia into the eye of each feather design using the stepped circle texture plate to hold them in place and some of the other texture plates to add imprints on the reverse to give them added interest and sparkle.

You can always find my new beads in my facebook group first....

and the texture plates are available here...

Sparking textured silver glass beads....

Sparking silver glass beads made with Double Helix Arke

This post is going to be a bit heavy with videos as I have not quite got the hang of photographing silver glass well just yet.

This first set is encased Effetre teal with textured dots of Arke and bright orange CZ's which I applied with the stepped circle texture tool. I have included a TiK Tok showing how it was done.

Below are two large encased Arke lentils - one made with the twisted square texture plate and the other with the stepped circle texture plate.

Finally a little video of the teal lentils showing just how sparkly they are"

Brass lampwork texture tools by Jolene Beads

There is something new and exciting over in my store today, the first chance to pre-order some beautiful new brass lampworking tools. There are 5 to choose from, each one has many layers of geometric shapes that step down to form a cavity so you can add texture to your beads without squashing them flat!

You can check them out over in my store here - www.jolenebeads.com/collections/lampwork-texture-tools
