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.
