Beaver Island Memories Beads

These beads are my glass representation of different memories of Beaver Island. Sort of like sterling charms only in Murano glass! These beads evolve as I do in my glassmaking or my ideas so keep a watch out here or at Livingstone Studio on Beaver Island in the summer. These "charms" are mounted on sterling silver with a loop. Prices are based on amount of glass and work that goes into each bead.

Indian Point: On the northwestern tip of the island. I've depicted Indian Point with an "arrowhead." $10

Bog Bead: There are several bogs on Beaver Island. Bogs are really special wetland places and not found many places on earth. Beaver Island is one of the few places that you will find a bog. I've depicted the look of bogs with greens, blues, browns and a "boggy" look such as Egg Lake shown below. $10

Daddy Franks: Ice cream on a summer evening. Yum! Daddy Franks is the place on Beaver Island! Ice cream cones in different flavors. $10

Dahlwhinnies - coffee, tea, breakfast, lunch. Good deli! $10

Donegal Bay: When I think of Donegal Bay I think of blue water with sparkles of light thus this bead depicting the bay is blue with little sparkly bumps! $10

French Bay: This is an mysterious area of the island with forested wetlands. This bead depicting French Bay is mostly green with some blues for the lake and a tree on the top. $10

Iron Ore Bay: We love Iron Ore Bay as a place to picnic, walk the beach. It's a nice drive to the south end, going by the lighthouse. With the tanin rich water running from Iron Ore Creek into the bay you get the rich brown colors along with the sand. Thus, my bead depicting the sand and rich brownish tanin creek. $10

The dog fishing in Iron Ore Creek.

Lake Geneserath: This beautiful, large, inland lake reminds me of the "land of sky blue waters" -- you know, if you are older, the old beer commercial! So the bead is made of transparent green glass with rich greens and blues depicting the water and trees surrounding the lake. $12

Miller Marsh: Wetlands, one of our most valuable resources as all sorts of critters live and reproduce in wetland habitats. Protect our island wetlands! Here's a couple turtles that may want to live in Miller Marsh. $12

Paradise Bay: This is the right name for the gorgeous harbor entrance to Beaver Island. It is all blue and sparkly so the bead tries to capture some of this beauty! $12

Sand, Land, Water and Sky: This is what you see looking off of Beaver Island--sand beaches, some green trees, blue water of Lake Michigan and (hopefully) blue skies!

Shamrock: The historic bar and grill right in the center of "town." You have to have a beer and burger at the Shamrock and enjoy the view of the harbor. This bead has a little shamrock on it! $10

Stoney Acre Grill: Yum--great food at the grill and now you can have a drink there too. Sometimes you can catch some tunes with a band. The sun is their logo so this bead captures their logo. $10

Storm: Yes, sometimes we have a storm on the island. And you can always see a storm coming or going very well due to the open lake surround the island. This bead depicts stormy conditions with some blues, whites, purple swirls. $12

Toy Museum: This place is so much fun for adults and kids! You will love it. Lots of cool little doodads, toys, cards, and paintings by Mary the artist and owner. This bead depicts all the different colors of toys and things in this shop! $10

Whiskey Point Lighthouse: Here is my depiction of the quaint lighthouse at the end of the point called Whiskey Point. $12

LIVINGSTONE STUDIO: These birds are a "takeoff" on the beautiful bird paintings that Sue Thompson makes and displays in her shop. They are graceful and colorful. $12
