Update: March 4, 2008
I currently have lots of ebay auctions going! Ebay is the best place to buy my beads. Here is the link.
Thanks for stopping by! My name is Mandy Williams and I am a glass and jewelry artist. I make my beads from raw glass sticks, imported from Italy and Germany that I melt in the flame of a torch. The beads are wound on a thick piece of steel wire called a mandrel, which is coated in a powdery bead release so that the beads can be removed after they have cooled. The mandrel is turned in the flame to shape and round the bead after all the detail and layers have been added to the bead. This process is called lampworking, or flameworking.
I have been lampworking for three years and have created many unique designs in that time. I am best known for my seascape and landscape designs. All of my art is inspired by nature.
