There are flowers everywhere for those who bother to look. - Henri Matisse  
 
 
Beads, Beads, and More Beads... 

These small objects of art can be simple or complex.  Some people collect them, others adorn themselves with them.  The history of the bead is nearly as long as the history of people. 

All of my beads are shaped in the flame by hand and coaxed into their final form by gentle manipulation.  Most of my beads incorporate the shapes, colors and textures of nature.  All go through the proper annealing process to ensure quality and permanence for the ultimate owner.
