~Lampwork Beads with Life~
Before the throne was a sea of glass, like crystal. Revelation 4:6a
As a Lampwork Glass Artist, I aim for my work to reflect my appreciation of God's glorious creation. Beads with Life, often depicting seasonal events in our gardens, are available on Etsy, listed often and abundantly as they are created.
If you were watching Foxnews last night, (5-19-10) you saw Sarah Palin wearing this necklace. It was a gift for her faithful service to our Country, and she thanked me by wearing it on national primetime-what a Gal!
God has blessed the
work of my hands as He promises to do, by showing my work here.
I was very honored to be invited to this Gallery where Dale Chihuly shows, and 2
of 3 pieces have sold in the first week; I sent more.:) All Glory and
Praise to God!

Ten Reasons to Buy Quality Lampwork Beads:

1- It is original and unique art. No one else will own or wear it.
2- You can meet the artist in a cyber way thereby understanding your purchase. You can inquire about the inspiration. Most artists are delighted to talk about their work.
3- It will outlast quilts and even painted canvases, with proper care, perhaps for millennia. Ancient Roman and Egyptian beads are commonly available, even on Ebay.
4- Because of its longevity, it will enhance your portfolio, and provide inheritance for your heirs. What a lovely, thoughtful gift of art to your appreciative loved ones, especially in our insecure economy!
5- You can wear your art, expressing your daily mood, your ensemble often secondary to your Lampwork.:)
6- You can request custom work for a special occasion. Most artists are honored to help with special orders like weddings.
7- It is small, so easy to store with other precious treasures.
8- Your purchase will have inexpensive shipping because it is light.
9-Your unique Beads may inspire your original jewelry designs worthy of being published, winning contests and prizes.
10- It is FUN to buy, own, give, be inspired by, and wear.
Here is the quilt I made for the special exhibit in Houston at Quilt Show as a response to 9-11, bought by an anonymous collector there. Be comforted with prayers for peace in America, Friends! Rather than a day of service, let us annually make it a day of PRAYER for the victims' families and all terrorized by that infamous day!
