Designs By Patricia Hall on ArtFire

Patricia Hall out of Hillsborough, NC specializes in making natural stone, lampwork glass and shell beaded items.
Lampwork fascinates me - these lovely brown and cream colored beads are so cool - I love the way the colors swirl through the glass.

Or how about these with the caramel swirls with the little lines of blue - come to think of it - caramel - thats sort of what these remind me of!

And this is just stunning, with the 3 flat black agate beads with the jet glass beads! So Pretty - this one is on the last page of her listings so if you go looking for it - that's where it is!

Do check out this studio - she has some lovely jewelry - many with natural stones that are just beautiful!

NinjaJenn On ArtFire

One of the really fun things about promoting other shops, is you get to see some of the fun items people do. It's interesting how one technique has turned out soooooo many different pendants. NinjaJenn does glass tile, scrabble tile, and other wood pendants. Even though this wooden heart is covered with chiyogami paper, it sort of reminds me of an art nouveau design. The paper is coated with resin to protect it, also making it water resistant.





I kind of like the fogginess of this butterfly pendant, makes it look somewhat mysterious. I almost want to get a magnifying glass out to see if there are any fairies hiding in there! Pretty cool.
