Wandering Spirit
If only you could touch and hold these beads through your screen.
I haven't seen anything like it. They are completely hollow (which yes, I have seen before) and light as feathers.
They have color like I've never seen. How does Aja do it? I have no idea. But I like it. Whatever she's doing, I really really dig it.I recommend you taking a stroll through the Wandering Spirit sold section. Aja is on vacation at the moment but be ready to pounce when she returns and relists her beads. I tried putting one of her sets in a treasury last week and the dang things kept selling even before I could post the treasury!!
I'll show you a couple of my favorites...
Drooling, eh?
I knew you would.
i have loved her beads for a long time now... they are so gorgeous and different... congrats on nabbing some!
ReplyDeleteHi, I am drooling! Big time! They look extraordinary gorgeaus. Looking forward to see what you will do with them. I made a few drooling purchases myself the other day. I believe YOU will drool Lorelei. Although I spelled it "drewling" in the title of my blog post (i am only swedish, aren't I ...). Check it out! All my best & bye for now!
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous. I can't believe how big they are.
ReplyDeleteI believe Aja uses a process called fuming, you actually heat fine silver in the flame and the fumes from the silver cause that wonderful veining on the ivory. Ivory is a very soft glass so it is quite difficult to make hollows with, Aja has definitely mastered the technique.
ReplyDeleteThat wonderful color palette is so up my alley.
Awww really nice and earthy!
ReplyDeleteLuscious!
ReplyDeleteyou tempt me everyday with you bead posts to throw away my silver and torch and pick up beading! if ONLY I had your imagination!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! I wanted those badly when I saw them on the blog and she told me that they were spoken for - and it was you! Congratulations! I'm sure you will make something gorgeous with them. I can't wait to see.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower and love everything you have on here. I just recently got into necklace making- and love seeing everyone's ideas! Can't wait for more.

oh my, they are exquisite!
ReplyDeletethey made my heart do a double skip. thanks for sharing such beautiful work :)
Drooling is right - those are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteStunning! Can't wait to see her for sale ones.
ReplyDeletesee- these make me kinda NOT want to use them b/c they're so gorgeous that I could only detract from them. This is why i dont use a lot of art beads- the art's already... done. I'd only need to tie this to any piece of string i found in the street and just walk around absorbing the compliments. I'd say- oh, thanks, I made it!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, my mouth is watering for these lovely beads. Such wonderful colors and textures. Wait, my brow is sweating and my hands are shaking. Must. Have. Beads.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh mercy me.....*drool*
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I have been thinking of getting a glass blowing mandrel to try it out! I may just have to...
ReplyDeleteOh how eerie! I was just coveting her beads the other day, wishing the money into my account so I could justify a purchase.
ReplyDeleteHer craftsmanship is spectacular!
Drooling for sure, what an artist, wow!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to wipe up my keyboard there is so much drool! What absolutely stunning beads! Would love to know the secret!
