I now have a local source for glass lampwork beads!!
My friend has been making glass beads for a while, but did not have a kiln to anneal them, so I was unable to use them in my work, but she just recently purchased a kiln, and has been going nuts, creating like a madwoman!!
We got together for dinner last night and I got to do some private shopping from her collection. I came away with 35 beads and grinning ear to ear!! I couldn't wait to start creating with them, so I made 3 necklaces today from them. I will try to get some pictures together tomorrow of the beads and necklaces.
I am so excited! Her beads are very organic and unique...totally my style!! I will also be listing some of her beads for sale in my Black Horse Supplies Etsy store soon. I need to get her to open an Etsy store...although I'm feeling a bit selfish and want her beads all to myself! LOL!!
