Product Reviews | Comments OffGrammy Glass…Another Fabulous Lampwork Artist
Tonight I wanted to share with you one of my favorite lampwork artists…Janie Jones of Grammy Glass. Janie is based out of Charlotte, NC but you can find her at quite a few shows across the Southeast and also at the Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee, WI. Janie is the the artist who made the wonderful lampwork beads shown in one of the Fuzzy Bead Bracelets that is featured in my Fuzzy Bead Pattern.
Please visit Janie at http://www.grammyglass.com

Raku Beads from Smoking Turtle Studio
I have just finished adding some fabulous raku beads from Smoking Turtle Studio to the site. Les Powell, who happens to be my sweetie, is a talented potter who specializes in alternative firing techniques. After much nudging he developed a raku bead line a few years ago. He is no longer making beads so get them while you can!
I would love to see some of your work using his beads if you have purchased them from us at shows or from the net. Please feel free to add a comment and upload a picture.
Here is a link to the raku beads on the site:
