Geodites — Cindy McEwen Handmade

Geodite Collection

When I started this series, my husband thought they looked like crystals that came from the earth — like geodes. So I called them geodites. Each bead is built up with many layers of glass and use other compatible materials including silver foil and silvered glass. Raised color accent dots are added at the end.
