One of the most important parts of working with hard glass is "playing" with all of the wonderful colors and possibilities each one offers. This gallery includes most of the colors I've used in each bead. You might notice the large quantity of different designs used throughout these beads, part of the nature of my relationship with glass is a short attention span. I love to discover new techniques, however I hate to do any of them over and over.

Vivid opalescent boro colors, I've used both Northstar and Glass Alchemy. These sets of beads are the very best results of my love for color! One of the most important parts of working with hard glass is "playing" with all of the wonderful colors and possibilities each one offers.

These beads are earthy and a little rough in shape, far from being perfectly balanced, they are a lot of fun to make! These are the kind of beads where I just let go when making them.

Mostly adding these to show some boro colors and what they look like in a small application such as little spacer beads. I hope this page will help with what some of the colors look like together, in frit form, and encased colors. Hopefully it will also be a good reference for people who want to try boro but don't know what colors to start with.

Flattened tabular beads are perfect for bracelet designs. Beads average $5 each.

I sell my beads and sculpted flowers via Etsy, my user name is Uvanomos. You can also purchase my work at the West of the Moon gallery in Flagstaff, AZ and Animas Beads.
I am 25 years old, and have worked with glass for 12 years, getting my start when I was just 13 years old. This is now my 4th year working with borosilicate glass and I am still immersed in what feels like a fresh budding passion every time I create.
I'm now a full time student at NAU pursuing a degree in Sociology with a minor in jewelry metalsmithing. I will be paying for my education through the sale of my work. I really appreciate the support of all of my customers and glass enthusiasts! Besides glass & school, I love to Hike in the Grand Canyon!
