Czech Pressed Glass Bead Jewelry

More great photos from Bead Street customersJanet has been very busy lately, trying some new things as well as adaptations of projects from prior classes.  Here she has worked with a lot of pressed glass - daggers, drops, farfalles,  and leaves.

Janet's new ring design using Czech Farfalle beads,
Czech drops and Swarovski crystals.
This is beautiful in person. 
 Czech glass beads, gemstones, metals,
Japanese seed beads,
and a flower made with Czech glass leaves.


Janet used Kassie Inman's Popcorn bead pattern
for this earring using Japanese Matsuno Peanut Beads

Another fabulous ring - here with
Czech Pressed Glass Daggers

Janet's version of Barb LaFrienier's wire earrings.
She used thicker wire and added a drop dangle at bottom.
These look stunning on.
Thanks Janet, for bringing in your fabulous jewelry
and allowing me to photograph and post them.

More Spring Flowers

We recently had a sale of all of our Czech flowers and leaves.    Because the weather has been so rainy lately, many of you have chosen to stay inside and design 'flower gardens' for your wrists.  Here are photos of some bracelets Janet created and brought into the store to share. 

Beautiful colors and Janet added some Vintage Lucite and a flower button.


A tiny lucite flower layered on top of a Czech bell flower.  Really cute!




Also from Janet.   Another color version and beaded loop for her closure






Here's one worn as a necklace. Great work Janet.

Even Joy had to admit these were really nice.
Thanks so much, Janet for inspiring all of us.
Keep up the good work!
