I present to you my latest batch of berries. After experimenting with several different color combination’s, including encased stringer, I decided that these colors were the best. They gave me a wicked craving for some wild blackberries. Luckily this handful of beads was less complicated to make than the other methods I experimented with. They contain a strong presence, the glow of the crisp red cores will mesmerize you.
Color:
• Red/purple
Approximate dimensions:
• 11mm × 14mm
• 4.5mm hole

Available for sale, made to order. Inquire at francesca@francescadecaire.com.

Grandma Joyce comes over on Monday to visit with Lucas. This gives me a window of time where I can focus on my work out in the garage studio. During her last visit I made fields of large hole wild strawberries. The bold translucent red color (CIM Sangre) makes these wild strawberries illuminate. They are juicy and ready to pick.

Quantity:
•  10 beads
Color:
• Red/green
Approximate dimensions:
• 11mm × 15mm
• 4.5mm hole

This super cute chunky strawberry bracelet is for someone with a big personality. I hand knotted in between each bead, not only for looks, but for added security. Three of my strawberry beads are strung along with thirteen of my 11mm × 13mm Venom Red Beads. The bracelet is finished off with a sterling silver round locking clasp. Chunky bracelets need a little extra length to compensate for the width of the beads, it measures 8″ long.

These brightly colored glass strawberry beads make the cutest pendants.  They were a blast to make.  I found that they came to life on the mandrel with ease.
