eBay My World: whiteowldesigns( 223)

I have been a designer, seller and trader of beads for over twenty years. I LOVE beads and have a deep respect for their heritage and mystery. I love helping designers create their unique visions and welcome custom orders of all sorts.

I primarily sell beads but also offer my paintings for auction, or other crazy ideas I get to make - like the latest one, wish boxes. I am always painting something, and these somethings often find their way to ebay.

I like to buy old broken jewelry lots, and out of print books. I buy some of my favorite cosmetics on ebay as well.

I collect glass globes and beads, i also collect art supplies and that truely can become a collection :)

I paint - no suprise there. I also write poetry, am an avid student of film and spend time doing volunteer work in my local community.

I began my beading adventure in 1992 in San Antonio, Tx. I created 1500 handmade beads, quit my day job and started my business. I designed jewelry using my beads as focals and traveled the Texas and New Mexico fair and show circuits. In the late 90's I moved from Texas to California's Bay Area and began focusing on beads only. From that point on I have been creating and selling my beads directly from my studio to designers, boutiques, collectors and online. These very special beads are offered only a few times a year and by custom order. Completely original beads using miniature hand painting and quill techniques on recycled wood and dipped in a very special resin that gives a thick glass like finish and protects the delicate painting underneath. Sage smudging and other nice things are given to them to add just that extra sparkle as they go off on their adventures in the world.There are no other beads like them.

Paypal and money order, locally I accept cash transactions.

I ship USPS First Class or Priority. Shipping starts at 2.95.

I accept reasonable returns on items within ten days of receipt.
