Lately I've been making a lot of chainmaille jewelry, which I really love. It's precise, sleek, and meditative and also beautiful, intricate, and versatile. But after so much time working ring-by-ring, I was ready for festive, vibrant color...and glass.
Pati Walton, one of my favorite glass designers, made all the lampwork glass beads in these brightly beautiful earrings. And, oh, the COLORS--fuchsia, yellow, orange, blue, purple, and green "painted" in ribbons across Pati's glass head pins and added as bubbles on the little lampwork beads. Even the little Czech glass rondelles and Swarovski crystal bicones I added to the mix are rich and vibrant.
I love the way the light filters through the colored glass and crystal, turning the beads into their own kind of light.
Color is nourishment for our creative hearts, I think. And I'm so glad I made these little FaeryLights at this magical time of year.

Thank you so much for reading! I wish you all a wonderful (and heart-nourishing) New Year, and I'll see you all again in 2018!
