Now that my 2012 glass season is coming to an end with only one venue - Bay Area Bead Extravaganza - to go in November and just finish my last teaching gig at The Gathering Place studio in Naperville, Illinois, earlier this month. I finally have an opportunity to post some of the Ornate Series Beads. Thank you for making these so popular! :)

First let's start with the scale of these - from ginormous to wee! Most of them fall somewhere between these two extreme sizes!

A better picture of the beads:

Here are a few of the "normal" size ones - about 1-1.25" in diameter:

Some of the Ornate Series beads are still available. They range in price from $95 to $185. If you are interested, please contact us via our website:

Hayley's Current Murrini Collection

I have always loved murrinis and used to purchase them when I first started applying them on my beads for my own was not up to standard. After many trials and errors, my own murrinis finally were acceptable. Moreover, I found the process completely addicting! I love coming up with different color combinations as well as glass reactions. I realize that I have more murrini chips than I can possibly use myself. So when I started getting emails asking if I sell my murrinis, I decided it's time to share.



Since I am not in the murrini business, I don't plan on selling different mixes. Instead, I am selling exactly the ones I use myself regularly. Please note that the collection changes all the time, thus the name "Current Murrini Collection." What you get today and one month from now won't be the same! I offer them in packages of 50 or packages of 100. Each order will come with a reference sheet showing you some of the murrini chips as well as how they look applied.

I use silver glass (Double Helix, StrikingColor, Precision 104, George Tessman, TAG), many of which are odd lots that are no longer available or test batches that have never been released. I use sought-after glass that is currently out of production including, but not limited to, the amazing ASK (Arrow Springs Kugler) palette, Vetrofond Odd Lots, Effetre Cool Colors, CiM Unique, and Lauscha. All the glass I use is COE 104 to ensure compatibility.

Here are some of my beads with my murrinis:

SE 1 – First Silver Color How To e-Booklet

The First Silver Color How To e-Booklet:
- 30 pages
- over 50 beads with description

This is the first e-booklet and contains less than 1/3 of the amount of beads and description as the other e-booklets. This was included in the CD version of SE2 free of charge but with the release of SE3, it's too complicated for me to keep including on one and not the other. I was going to just not offer it at all but since I do receive request from those who want the complete set . . . I am offering it at a very nominal fee, available only in low-res pdf.
