Lampwork Earrings with Vintage Coke Bottle Glass
The seafoam color of old soda bottles is such a soothing color. I have to say that lampworking with a HotHead on hard glass was a challenge and they were not joking when saying hard glass explodes very easily... I had a couple of small shards in my arm, before I got the hang of it. But here they are, almost straight from the oven. Adorned with hand forged, antiqued copper findings. One-of-a-kinds.

Hand Forged & Etched Brass Daisy Beadcaps
These babies took me awhile to make. Cutting, etching, antiquing, forging... Sometimes I'm thinking I must be insane, girl... why don't you just buy them... but the whole process of turning a plain piece of sheet metal into Funky Daisy Bead Caps feels really gratifying and I am very happy of the way they turned out. And the best part of it - they are unique, one of a kindies : )
