Each bead in this set was made by imprinting the face of the bead with a 3-dimensional design. Some are made from rubber-stamps, some from molded plastic "texture plates" and I also used a mold made from an actual leaf. Each bead is different from the next. The recessed areas are painted in with a turquoise-green color, the raised surfaces area dark charcoal-green. The beads have matte finish. Average bead length is 1".

My favorite kind of bead to make, these are made with a crackle technique using, olive-green, gold and purple metallic acrylics, and a touch of copper leafing. Some of the beads were touched up afterward with a gold matallic pigment to highlight the edges. Eighteen beads, largest is 1" tall.

These almost remind me of christmas ornaments, the silver-lined ones that come in all those pretty colors. These beads are wrapped around the middle with bands of varigated gold leafing and a second strip of multi-colors on black. Bead length is 1 3/16", and 3/4" in diameter taken at the midpoint.

Every bead in this collection varies from the next. Made with pearlized silver and purple clays. Silver leafing highlights some of the beads, and about half of them have been textured with rubber stamps. Twenty beads, largest is 1" tall.
