I am a lampwork bead artisan and jewellery designer from South Australia. I combine my passion for Colour, Glasswork & Making Beads to create exquisite one of a kind jewellery creations!
My beads are made one at a time in my home studio and are annealed for strength. My creations are available here on ebay and from my website store.
I am a Self Representing Artist
I work really hard at being original and creating my own style of jewellery.
My designer jewellery range incorporates hand sculpted beads from Italian, American and German glass made in my studio together with components of the highest quality.
These components include Swarovski Crystals, Luscious Freshwater pearls, semi-precious Gemstones & High quality Bali & Thai silver (97%Pure Silver!) and 24k Vermeil Yellow and Rose Gold.
I think it goes without saying that since I put so much time and love into my work
I feel that I should use the best materials with my beads.
My Prices reflect the value I attribute to my Art.
My 'Private Collection'...Prized beads I have amassed over the years from some spectacular bead artists...Sometimes I release these treasures..highly prized, to compliment my designs.
Subtle differences are a sign of the handmade nature of my designs. They are NOT mass produced and cannot be compared to the cheap mass produced items made in China and offerred for sale in variety stores.
Thought for the day:-
"Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else."
– Judy Garland
I MAKE MY OWN BEADS!!
How do I cost my lampwork beads?
My Prices reflect the value I attribute to my Art.
Many ebay sellers carry cheap Chinese and Indian versions of lampwork beads, that are poor quality, not annealed and mass produced by poorly paid factory workers ( often children), in mere seconds.
I consider each bead I make to be a tiny piece of ART.
Made one at a time with great care, patience and skill. The more intricate, sculptured beads can take up to 30 minutes EACH to design.
Bead making is an ART. It takes many hours of practice, patience, imagination and creativity.
