EllyLoo Creations-Lampwork & Jewelry

I really REALLY love this necklace.  Beads like these are what got me into doing Lampwork.  The piece has a good weight to it, sits around your neck nicely and feels great!  There’s a touch of colour, but it’s not garish, and the volume of clear around it makes the necklace look light and fresh.  The findings are vermeil (gold plated silver), and it has been strung on thick 18k gold beading wire.

I have a lovely voluptuous winged Goddess on Ebay right now.
I made one like her a week ago, and got such an overwhelming response, that I recreated her.
The wonderful thing about this, is that each piece is unique! Especially when working with that nifty glass called “Raku”. It changes colour depending on how you treat it while in the flame!
Here she is, “Autumn”.

I have my first listing (IN A LONG TIME!) up on ebay!
YOu have the opportunity to buy a “Hope” pendant at auction prices!
It’s right here.

Yellow is usually pretty far down on the list of colours I use most frequently.
But, as things go, I may not be able to get enough of it now!

Yellow (I can’t remember which, it’s very pale banana popsicle colour on the rod) –with silver ivory stringer dribbled on it, and then a random design of Triton, which is then reduced, to get a wonderful oilslick (I always hate using that description, it’s a gross/pretty connotation) sheen to it. It’s mostly a greenish/bluish shimmer.

I enjoy how the silvered ivory webs out to give an organic feel. That way, I can practice ‘drawing’ with triton stringer, and if it turns out not so hot, it looks organic and ‘natural’, because of the underlying silvered ivory. of course if it turns out just the way I want, the silvered ivory is still stunning.

That’s my sneaky trick, and that’s why I do a LOOOOOT of non ’specific’ design beads.

It’s aaaaaaall practice.

If you’d like to buy it here, that’s ok, if you want to buy it on my artfire, it’ll be up tomorrow morning.

This beautiful bead was made last summer, when I took a trip out to British Columbia.  We had a great time, and I torched alongside some AWESOME artists.

This little treasure was one I took home with me, and is now available for purchase!  I’ll include a 16 inch chain, unless you prefer a longer one, then please put it in the note, and I’ll be happy to do so.

Okay, so after the big Bead Oasis show, I kind of lost my ‘oomph’.  I also got that awful coughing virus, and it put me out of commission for a while.

However, I just bought some new special glass, and have some pretties to show you!  Double Helix’s Aurae, and Triton.  They both reduce to a really nifty sheen, as you’ll see!  I’ve been making big holed beads in preparation for trying out the new Nortel Bead liner, so that’s why some of these have 1/4 inch holes. 

Triton goes a mirrored silver when reduced (it does other things too, but so far, I can do the first!), if you look closely, you can see me with the camera!

Aurae is like a Fairy glass!  It reduces to a delicate golden sheen, like liquid sunlight!

This one below is an elegant beauty that has Triton in it in reduced and unreduced form.  There are a few mirror shiny spots, but unreduced, it’s the ethereal blue that you see.  It also includes silvered ivory.  I really enjoy how it turned out!

Sometimes, life hurts.

This is one of the most common questions I’ve heard about this type of bead.  It’s quite flattering! 

There actually are no real flowers in this bead!  Even if I tried, the poor flower would vaporize in the flame I use to melt the glass!  Everything you see, each design element, is made from different colours of glass!  This bead is made from layers upon layers of glass. 

The bottom layer is black, and I drizzled colours on top of it that make it look like vines.  Then I “encase” it all with a thick layer of clear glass.  Once I get the basic shape I want, I start adding the ‘flowers’.  Each flower in this bead is comprised of 6 very thin layers of glass! 

Pretty suprising, even to me, when I just counted it up! The design is made up of dots of glass, melted in, and layers of dots on top of it.  It still looks like a bunch of dots, until I take a sharp tool, and POKE the center down deep into the bead. This makes the dots all of a sudden become PETALS.  And if you look closely, you’ll see a bubble trapped in the middle of each flower, sparkling and special.  This is done deliberately.

Since each floral like this has so many layers, the time taken to make it can range from 20 minutes to an hour!  It all depends on how many flowers, layers and other details are included! In this bead, I put a little bit of Dichroic glass into it for a beautiful delicate sparkle.

This bead is made into a pendant already, and if you purchase it, will come ready to wear right out of the box!  It’s a lovely size.  Don’t forget to tell me how long you would like the chain!
