Just had to share these new beauties!
Marmalade by Kim Neely
These art glass beads were made by the very talented artisan, Kim Neely. They are hollow, but substantial, with a beautiful apricot/caramel color. The sparkle is beyond belief! Just wait until you see what I conjure up with these. If you appreciate these little gems, and would like to be awed by more examples of Kim’s fine work, check out her gallery.
About Maria
From engineering to decorative painting to jewelry design and fabrication - I have finally found my niche! I enjoy constructing beautiful jewelry. As a former engineer, constructing a durable piece that will not give way is important to me. It's a challenge figuring out the best way to build a piece. As a former decorative painter I search for a pleasing combination of form and color. The pieces I create offer the best of all worlds for jewelry that you will truly cherish! I am also a volunteer with the Guide Dog Foundation and their sister organization, VetDogs, which provides service dogs to our veterans who are disabled. My Perky's Paw Necklace is a fundraiser piece that benefits VetDogs. A future collection is planned for kindred dog lovers!

Another great deal Maria, these are beautiful too…I can’t wait to see what you make with both sets! Kim does great work.
Yes, Kim is a wonderful artist. After I finish the dreaded taxes, my reward will be to create something beautiful with these.
