Update: November 11, 2008
I still have lots of ebay auctions going! Ebay is where I have most of my beads listed. Here is the link. If you don't like auctions I am also selling on a new site called Etsy which is exclusively for selling and buying handmade items and craft supplies. You can find my beads on Etsy here.
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.
To view my work for sale, check out my jewelry, beads and auctions categories. Or, for more examples of my work check out my gallery page or I have LOTS of bead photos on my Flickr page.
