Contemporary Handmade Art Glass Jewelry by Accessoreez

Posted: 28 Jun 2011 04:00 AM PDT


It's all in the family with sisters, Leslie Huston and Shelly Harper.  Accessoreez,  their collection of contemporary art glass jewelry is a successful amalgamation of their respective skills in art glass borosilicate, bead work and metal work.

I am so glad they joined my Twitter community because that's how I came to know about their gorgeous work. Their multi-disciplinary collection is truly inspirational!


Their deft use of color from oceanic to desert hues in the handmade hot fired glass are enhanced with their choices of other materials such as gemstones and hammered copper and silver.

My favorite pieces from their collection are their stunning choker necklaces and the cuff bracelets. The art glass certainly takes center stage whether the cuffs are solid or much more airy.

Winner of B'Sue Boutiques' Gilder's Paste and Stampings Starter Kit

Posted: 27 Jun 2011 02:40 PM PDT

Brenda Sue and I thank all of you who added such lovely comments.

It didn't surprise me to know that some of you were already familiar with Gilder's Paste and B'Sue Boutiques long before last week's giveaway.  Although Beverly said she only has one pot and wants more, more, more!

But others were itching to try out the product. As a couple of readers pointed out it's a really easy way to do faux enamel.

It's great on polymer clay and resin too.  Coral mentioned she used it on her painted resin flower cabochons. Adding accent color with the Gilder's Paste is quick indeed.

Some people were wondering if giveaways are international. They are unless stated otherwise. So no need to hold your breath any longer! I counted out all the entries and random.org picked sis5of11! Congratulations ! Quick, get in touch with me as I don't have your email. My email is beadinggem {at} yahoo {dot} ca.

Didn't win? Then try your luck with the next giveaway!
