The Beaded Life Just another beadwork artist head over heels. Right now I work mainly with seedbeads and stones. I gravitate toward organic earthy elements. I look forward to sharing comments with other bead artists.
Handmade Lampwork Glass Beads and Handmade Tools for the Lampworker by Scott Bouwens of Bearfoot Art Glass Studio. Jewelry by Monica Bouwens. La Conner, Washington.
I Am Self-Taught Lampwork Artist And Jewellery Designer. I learnt to make lampwork beads in April 2007 (thankyou to my fab boyfriend for buying me my starter kit from Martin at Tuffnells) My Studio Can Be Found In The Beautiful County Of North Yorkshire, In The Heart Of England. My favourite beads are my Psyche Planets and Scarlet Safari. The Glass I Use Is COE (Co-Efficient Of Expansion) 104 Double Helix, Effetre (Moretti), Lauscha, Vetrofond, Creation Is Messy (CIM) These Glasses Are Italian, German Or American. The Glass Is Melted Over A Gas Fuelled Torch. I use a Nortel Minor burner with an Oxycon. The Torch Is Duel Fuelled, Running On Propane and Oxygen. My Beads Are Then 'Annealed' In A Digitally Controlled Paragon SC2 Kiln. The Beads Are Thoroughly Cleaned, Temporarily Strung Or Made Into Jewellery. I have two websites. One for jewellery designers to purchase my lampwork beads and the other for my jewellery customers to purchase unique pieces of wearable art. Best Of All I Love Making Them.... Let Me Know What You Think. Clare x
