Strawberries and ? Is it an apple or a strawberry? Fruit beads continue to humor me, so I will continue making earrings/pieces with them. I even have five pieces of different fruit beads for a 5 prong pendant.

All of these beads are made by Carrie E. McKinney of CEM Lampwork. They are gorgeous plunged floral beads paired with Swarovski on sterling silver earwires. Some of her floral beads have cubic zirconia as the middle of the flower.

Fun saucer type lampwork beads on sterling silver heart chain. Similar beads are available for this look

A beautiful pair of encased florals with cz middles paired with Swarovski crystal. This picture appeared on the CCS show postcard in 2008.

A sample of some earrings in my gallery show at Commonwheel in July 2009. Ankle Biter beads on Etsy makes similar styles.

Gotta love these beads from...a forgotten SRA lampworker at the RMBS show who charged me $20 for the two beads.

Beads of light from one of my favorite boro artists, Brendan Blake. Custom order a pair today...any color you wish.
