Soft Violets - focal side 1This set has another lentil made with Corina's Bead Stamp.  The bead stamp is made of brass, and the cold surface of the brass really makes the purples in the opal yellow come out, so I decided to go with it...

The focal lentil measures 15mm by 18mm and has a simple twisted flower made with a stringer of various purple glasses.  The center of the violet is opal yellow topped with clear. 

The tiny opal yellow beads are just too cute!  They measure 5mm by 8mm and 5.5mm by 8mm.  Because of the surface decoration on the other beads, it's kinda hard to measure them, but they are 7mm and 7.5mm wide.
 
SoftViolets- loose beadsSoft Violets have been etched to bring out those great color variations that come from Opal Yellow.  I've used 4 and 5mm Peridot Swarovski® crystals and tiny shiny pewter heishe for accent.  The beads are temporarily strung on sterling silver wire.
