eBay My World: msbeadmaker( 42)

I have found lampworking to be my favorite outlet for creativity. I am member C 80 of the SRA (Self-Representing Artists) Lampworketc and Wet Canvas. I'm a Christian, happily married and the mother of four with lots of grandchildren.

I buy supplies to make handmade lampwork beads, and I have started to buy beads for my art collection or to make jewelry with.

I would like to continue to collect beads, marbles, pendants, or focals of other glass artists.

English

In my spare time, I am usually searching for new information on lampworking through tutorials, or studying books that have to do with broadening knowledge regarding the many ways of decorating and shaping beads.

Bible, Gone With the Wind (big book!), Dots, Passing the Flame, Frit Secrets and ebooks (tutorials) by Helen Simon and Lydia Muell.

One Night with the King, Gone with the Wind, Rat Race, The Ten Commandments, Moses, Jacob and Leah, Abraham (not necessarily in that order)

Dotti Rambo, Amy Grant, Third Day, Crystal Lewis, Mercy Me, 2nd Chapter of Acts, Keith Green and the list goes on and on..........

The Weather Channel, News, Christian TV, I Love Lucy, and lots of other oldies.

To sell my beads nationwide and possibly worldwide.

I am member #C 80 of SRA (Self-Representing Artists) and I am also a member of Lampwork Etc., Christian Artists and Crafters, Christian Artists Street Team, and also a member of Wet Canvas. I have been making lampwork beads for over four years now and am loving every minute of it. I hope I can make beads as long as I live!

Payment must be made by the winning bidder within three (3) days of the close of the auction.

I usually ship the first business day after cleared payment, however if you may possibly win more than one auction, I combine shipping and will wait for combined payment on both or all items so they may be shipped together. If you are bidding on more than one item, please wait for a total before making payment. Thank you!

Being a self-representing artist, I sincerely desire the satisfaction of my lampwork bead customers.

Please contact me through ebay if you have any questions whatsoever about any of my beads up for auction and I will be more than happy to answer them!

Any dues or customs charges incurred through shipping must be paid by the buyer. If an upgrade is desired in the shipping choice(such as international priority), the extra amount must be paid by the buyer also. Otherwise, I will mail shipments by First Class International. Thanks!

All my beads are made at my torch and in my studio and then immediately placed into a preheated, digitally controlled kiln and properly annealed according to the type of glass, whether it be soft or borosilicate glass to ensure durability and prevent thermal shock from cooling off too quickly. After annealing, the beads are then thoroughly cleaned and photographed to portray them as they really look, however, please be aware that monitors differ in how they display colors.
