Halloween Beads
I've been making Halloween beads with my students and for my Etsy shop already. It may feel a bit early to you, but jewelry artisans want them in time to make up their scary jewelry for the holiday. Here are a few that are new to my repertoire. The black cat is really a dark blue transparent that I was experimenting with. You can see the shade in her tail and ears. The little black crow on the stack of pumpkins is really black, however.
And here's a tip if you're a glass artist making a cob of corn...
I used the end of a small hollow mandrel to make the kernels. I had cased the yellow with a transparent amber so when pressed down, there would be a little bit of color difference which creates depth.
You can find these in my Etsy shop, (StudioMarcy). Needless to say, they'd all love to go to new homes.

It's never too early for Halloween. I've been working on Halloween items for about a month. I love the corn cob! Thanks for sharing the lampwork tip.
