Recent happenings at cserpentDesigns!

Although I work at home most of the time I am staying in more than usual (no gym visits, no soccer practice !  :( ) so I have a bit of extra time.  I decided it was time to dig through my bead stash and find some beads that have been languishing for years and design with them.  Well I bought a LOT of furnace glass beads from Mingo and Asho years ago and still have quite a few so I went on a designing spree with those.  Here is just a taste :)  Some of these sold already, some are currently for sale on Facebook and the rest are on my website here.

Fun times in the garage - torching and burning!

I'm working on new earring designs that will head up to the Art of the Holiday show, though they may make a brief pit stop here in my shop to give my favorite customers first dibs :)  Here are the crackle enamel pairs I made.  Some will dangle off ear wires, others will dangle below a gemstone or artisan lampwork bead.
