The Artsy Cactus
Meet the Maker
Welcome to learn more about me.
I started lampworking in 1995 and never stopped.
I have loved making things out of glass ever since I have learned to melt glass.
It took many years to learn to shape and work the glass. I learned a lot of
techniques along the way. Each bead is make one by one by melting the glass 2000 degrees.
I hope you take a look as what things I have to offer. I now also work with jewelry designers to make
special beads for their jewelry wearable art. I owned a jewelry and and bead store for 14 years and
now I just like helping other designers design their beads. If you have any questions please feel free to message me.
How it’s Made
All my beads are handmade in the Arizona USA.
They are made with colorful glass rods from italy. The glass rods are carefully melted 2000 degrees to make into beads. All the beads are kiln annealed for strength. This technique is quit difficult working with an object that is about the size of a quarter. To get small details on it.
It does take a lot of time and patience. I have been making beads for over 25+ years.
If you have questions please ask. I also do lots of custom lampwork glass beads for other artist. If you want to add something unique to your jewelry do message me and I can see what I can do.
