Turkish style eye beads and old-fashioned Venetian trade beads.
I have really enjoyed creating beads inspired by the old Venetian African trade beads, and exploring the glass work of other cultures.

Here are examples of the work that comes from that inspiration.

Modern interpretation of the Nigerian Bidi Beads.

I love to see the bead work other cultures and eras created. It amazes and inspires!

These beads were inspired by the recycled glass Nigerian Bidi beads. The glass is Italian Effetre transparent and opalino. Hand marvered, these have the imperfections of shape and design that are characteristic of the true Bidi bead.
