Piles of Lampwork Beads

In addition to focal beads and pendants, I've been busy making smaller beads from which I will create a few necklaces for my upcoming shows. This little pastel pile will be turned into a long, gorgeous necklace similar to my "Summertime" design (but with a little more yellow mixed in). About a week ago I got some really nice buttery, yellow glass and have really enjoyed experimenting with it!

I'm also going to make a long black & white necklace...

 a short purple necklace...

 and a short red & black necklace.

Hopefully I will be able to post pictures of the finished necklaces before I leave for my show! Right now I'm enjoying them divided by color in their little white dishes...as they patiently wait to be turned into something special. :)
