Lampwork Beads
Serenity Series
The Serenity series represents
tranquil days where you may find yourself lounging and relaxing under a shaded
tree, perhaps sipping an icy cold glass of lemonade or ice tea, looking up at
the night sky, counting the stars and then listening to the cool whispers of the
leaves singing in the breeze. The harmonious change of colors in the
leaves symbolizes nature's rejuvenation. The ruffles in the leaves reflect the
wind's gentle breeze. These leaves were first introduced mid-2003 and in
2004 I updated and miniaturized the leaves to half the original size. This
allows many leaves to be utilized in beadwork without the addition of weight.
In October 2003, Lark Books selected the
Serenity series to be part of their juried 1000 Glass Beads:
Innovation & Imagination in Contemporary Glass Beadmaking book.
But since the publication, I have been busy developing new color schemes.
Most of the leaves are made with 3 transparent colors using Italian glass.
I have also expanded the series and developed leaves inspired by Milk Glass
(reminiscent of Fenton Art Glass) which incorporates a translucent and a
transparent glass in complimentary colors using American glass. Another variation to this
series is a cut leaf shape. There are MANY colors (and more
are being developed overtime) to select from and
each strand contains 5 leaves tied nicely with ribbon. These leaves are
individually sculpted, therefore sizes will range dependent on stock
on-hand. A 10% discount will be applied (before calculated shipping rates)
when 10 or more strands of Serenity,
Serenity Milkglass,
Serenity Cut and Ginkgo leaves are ordered together in
one shipment. You can mix and match between these
leaf series to meet the quantity discount.
In July 2007, Naomi
Fujimoto, senior editor of BeadStyle
Magazine, featured the Serenity leaves in her book
Cool
Jewels. Then in
Stringing
Fall 2007, the Serenity leaves were
also featured as leaves the Interweave
editors loved! The Serenity leaves have also been featured in a number of
publications since it's
creation in 2003.
All beads are individually packed, wrapped in tissue paper and
