I came across these lampwork beads for sale and just had to buy them. I combined them with chocolate brown czech glass beads that have a swirl design debossed in them that coordinates so well with the swirl patterns on the handmade beads. I also added triangular shaped silvver metal beads that have a circular pattern on them. Metallic brown glass beads fill in the rest of the spaces with smaller brown striped czech glass beads. It measusre 17 inches long and has a toggle clasp.
Hi, my name is Ann. I am a highly energetic and creative person with a BFA degree and 20 years experience as a graphic designer and photographer. I also am a pilot and own and fly a 1947 antique classic Bonanza - that's where my username and website name came from. I call my design style "creative randomness" because I can't create repitious patterns, in fact I can rarely do or make the same thing twice - it always has to be different. I guarantee that each piece of jewelry is 100% original and unique. My inspiration comes from my many adventures around the world - in my airplane, scuba diving, hiking and exploring this magnificent world in every way possible. I like to work with natural materials, especially natural stone, and create pieces that remind me of my adventures in places that I have visited. If you take a look at my web site there is a story for every collection, from trips to the Australian outback, to romatic strolls down the carribean beaches at sunset.
