Fenton Presents. . . Show Your Patriotic Spirit with Fenton
Beads!
Show your patriotic spirit with handcrafted art
glass beads. . . made in the USA!
New for 2016, these Milk Glass beads feature colorful hand
applied decorations for either
Patriotic
Democrat or
Patriotic Republican. Each bead also includes a
top hat, U.S. flag and stars design (see smaller images). Our
God
Bless America bead has these hand lettered words as well as the
U.S. flag and a fireworks display. Designed by Truda "TJ"
Mendenhall, each bead is initialed by the artist who completed
it. Jena Lane Blair designed the two beads shown below as perfect
complements to the patriotic beads.
Proud to Be An American is made with vibrant red, white and
blue glass encased in crystal with beautiful deep bubbles.
Fireworks has
the classic Vasa Murrhina glass treatment, a
term which means "vessel of gems." Each bead captures a
glittering layer of Goldstone and our bead makers use extreme
care to maintain its sparkle in the hot flame. Tiny bits of
colored glass add a variety of hues in each different design,
and no two are identical! This difficult process is one of the
secrets of Fenton quality and the brilliance of its beads.
Fenton USA Jewelry is handcrafted with quality and tested for
durability. Each hand decorated bead is initialed by the
talented artist who completed it and has a sterling silver
core embossed Fenton USA. Because of the handmade process,
bead size may vary slightly. Visit

involved in creating this beautiful bead.

offered in late March, then
you'll want to add this "Fairy
and Friends"
Opal Satin Alley
Cat to your collection! Robin
has
meticulously hand painted
a wonderful scene, complete with
flora and fauna, a fairy
and mice. A fairy with brilliant blue
wings sits on a toadstool, accepting a lovely bouquet

gem accents to the fairy
wings for
extra sparkle.

Kim Barley continues her
popular "Gray Wolf" design on one of our new shapes, the
9" Candy Box. Handcrafted in Opal Satin, Kim has
airbrushed most of the outside in a soft blue hue as the
background for her "Gray Wolf" scene. The golden eyes of a
gray wolf peer out from the trees. The beautiful hand
painted white birch and pine trees encircle the entire
candy box.
Note the distinctive wolf paw print on the
base of the candy box!
Kim's design was also featured on our Alley Cat in the
April 1 eNewsletter.
This Gray Wolf Candy Box is $185 each.
Shown at right is a our 5" Opal Satin Stylized Cat figurine
featuring a
colorful "Purrfect Peacock" design by Kim Barley. Kim
airbrushed the figurine in soft blue hues and added
amazing hand painted peacock feather details, especially the metallic gold
highlights. Note the Peacock mask on the face . . .
doesn't it remind you of the masks worn during Mardi Gras?
A great piece for cat figurine collectors
or any Fenton figurine collection! Each Purrfect
Peacock Stylized Cat Figurine is $90.

Alley Cat figurine, the Gray Wolf Candy Box and the Purrfect

Frances Burton's artistic talent and her
love of nature are evident on this 10" Opal Satin vase.

tiny birds. Frances added a darker color accent
band near the top to complete this vase. Each Hummingbird
Delight Vase is $185.

Robin Spindler has transformed these Opal
Satin duck figurines into an elegant pair of Mallards.
These trim, wary and
fast-flying ducks are often found at parks, ponds and
wetlands. Known as “dabbling ducks", Mallards feed in the
water by tipping forward and grazing on underwater plants.
Did you know that almost all domestic ducks come from this
species? A great addition to any figurine collection,
these duck figurines are available
for $75
each or the pair for
$140. |

Fenton's
Weekly
eBay Auctions. . .
Here's your opportunity to own
a beautiful one-of-a-kind item through our
weekly
eBay Auctions!
Each one-of-a-kind art glass
creation is dated, identified and signed by the
award-winning Fenton artist who designed it. Shown here are our latest offerings.
Items featured this week. . .
The stately Giraffe is a giant among the animal
kingdom, and this spectacular one-of-a-kind Rosalene vase (10.5
tall, 6.5" wide at shoulder) will really make a statement in any
collection! Robin Spindler designed the scene, which depicts a
herd of Giraffes as they move through the mist in their native
habitat, complete with realistic trees and foliage. Robin
appropriately named this vase “Out of the Mist” for this marvelous
scene. The details are meticulously done and wonderfully
realistic.
What could be nicer to display on your tabletop than a hand painted
Butterfly by Michelle Kibbe on a one-of-a-kind Rosalene bowl with
six-point crimp? The exterior is satin finished, and the interior
is shiny (the bowl is 3.75" tall and the diameter across the
crimps is 4.5"). The Butterfly, flowers and leaves are beautifully
hand painted, and everything about this bowl says Spring!
This splendid one-of-a-kind basket is handcrafted in Lotus Mist
Burmese, a classic Fenton color that contains pure gold in the
glass batch. Frances Burton designed and hand painted the lush
Dogwood Blooms floral motif that graces this great basket. The
basket is 9" tall, and the measurement across at the widest points
on the elaborate lily crimp is 9.25". Special reheating techniques
create the pink blush. Note the fine rib twisted handle and the
distinctive handler's mark. Take a look at these offerings and
other "Buy It Now" items available on our Fenton eBay Auctions.
