Fiona's Bead Bar

This weblog serves as a showcase for my bead projects. They started mostly as gifts for my friends. I normally do only one-time pieces, so they are kinda "exclusive", if you know what I mean. :) Do check back often for updates!


If you see anything you like, feel free to email me, and we will work something out.

Sunny


White millefiori 7mm bead as focal bead, orange and clear glass beads, length, approx. 16.5 inches.

Green grass


Ever since I started my polymer clay project, I fell in love with millefiori patterns.
Millefiori means 'thousand flowers'.
Description: Green millefiori 7mm round beads, green glass beads, length, approx. 16.5 inches.

Purple cat's eye


I was over-excited with SuPeng's stone beads from Thailand, so the necklaces I made are super-heavy.
Complaints, complaints...

So... I cut down on the use of the stones in this necklace, using only 5 really BIG purple cat's eyes, with white chips and crystal faceted glass beads. Total length: approx. 17 inches.

Polymer clay spiral bead necklace


I made 3 necklaces out of the clay beads that I made over the weekend.
I coat the beads with clear nail polish, to give it a nice sheen...
I just hope that it works.
Length: Approx. 17 inches.

Polymer clay spiral beads


My first attempt on making my own beads. I hope to control the colours, size, shapes...
I will working harder, I promise!

Hmmm~~! Not bad for a first attempt, eh? Heehee...

Seaside chic necklace


Beach inspired necklace.
I have use metalized plastic beads shaped like seashells and seahorses to make this piece. Colourful round faceted plastic beads, separated by opal coloured tubes. Special peanut shaped clasp. Length= 42 cm. (Hangs just on the collarbone.)

Crystal mix necklaces


Fun, colourful pieces...
I have made two...
Dress up plain tees and favourite jeans!

The first is made up of siam, dark sapphire and emerald round faceted plastic beads, separated by opal coloured tubes, with a flower shaped metal focal bead.

The second is made up of citrine, lt rose and aquamarine round faceted plastic beads, separated by opal coloured tubes, with a flower shaped metal focal bead.

Pink flower bead Y necklace - MINE!


Crystals, glass, more crystals, more glass...
This is what this piece is about.
The focal bead at the end of the dangle sets me back almost $2.50.
(Quite expensive for ONE 8mm glass bead. But I think it is worth it!)

Description: Y necklace with approx. 3.5 cm dangle, pink flower on a silver foil glass bead as focal bead, silver twist tubes with alternate lt rose and crystal bicone beads. Hangs below the collarbone. Length= 46 cm.
