About this Product
I just started to work with glass, and the best way to get used to it is making beads. Here you can see my beads, combined together in some beautiful bracelets. Yes, maybe they are not really perfect yet, but even imperfect things may look beautiful if you put them together. All colors will play together and in a minute you will be addicted to playing with them, holding and looking. They feel heavy and slick, they sound beautiful.
And what is the most important thing - they look great!
Those bracelets have about 30-35 beads. Each one of them is made by me. Tiny, small, big, they are all sizes. You can add your favorite charms to complete your bracelet, you can shuffle beads, you can remove or add more beads, or even use them in your art. It is your choice!
They are not very expensive, since I am just learning, so you can afford what you like.
Every single bead was annealed in the kiln and as far as my test bracelet shows me they are pretty sturdy, none of my beads that I wear daily cracked on me so far.
I already sold about a dozen of these locally and people really like them, so give it a try!
The weight of each bracelet is 23-30g (depending on the bead count).
If you want to see more color choices, contact me directly and we can arrange it. I have much more in inventory then I can show here.

Meet the Maker
My name is Nataliia Grigoreva and I am an artist living in Bothell, WA in the United States. I grew up in central part of Russia, in a small town Oryol on the Oka river banks. I was one of the 5 kids in the family, right in the middle. I always was passionate about all kinds of art and crafts, especially about drawing, since it was the only one kind of art available to the child during that period of time. I started from coloring pages, which I was coping and enlarging from cartoons and comics. Also, I loved drawing household items late at nights with my graphite pencil. Later I found a craft club for kids where we were making beautiful pictures using wheat straw and glue. It was a blast! But I always had a fear to create my own characters and pictures. Thought I wasn’t good enough, I have no imagination, was too shy to show something different. Only later, when we moved to the US with my husband and kids, I found a hobby which I was only dreaming of. I started to create my own creatures from polymer clay. And a whole new period of my life started, I created my first Instagram account NGKawaiiCrafts dedicated to my polymer clay art.
Now I want to try every media in this world producing colors and shapes! In 2021 I started to dig into the art of glass! Melting and forming liquid glass is very calming and meditating process. And so new kind of art pieces started to emerge such as glass miniature sculptures, glass beads and bracelets, as well as my own glass eyes of different designs for art dolls and sculptures I create in mixed media technique. The very special part of my life is taken by birds, my cute companion is a sun conure Chibi. The most colorful bird in the world! And, of course, birds are always present in my art!
It is a pleasure of its own to work with customers making real their fantasy creatures. It can be a drawing, a sculpture, an art doll, a bracelet or even something new! Just reach out to me via any social media or you may always contact me at ngkawaiicrafts@gmail.com as well.
