Lampwork Magic

Searching for a one of a kind gift for someone? Or maybe just a nice treat for yourself? Rachel Cohen of The Magic Glass Online Boutique on Etsy creates some beautiful jewelry.

I am totally in love with this OOAK Necklace of Handmade Lampwork Discs. It's very elegant.


This Vintage Style Multicolor Lampwork Bead Ring is really eye catching and I am sure you'd get a tonne of compliments when wearing it.


And these OOAK Funky Flower Earrings are very pretty.

Featured Artist: Cats Paw Artifacts

Judy Richards resides in Portland, Oregon where it rains this time of year. A well kept secret is that it doesn't rain all year around.

Judy is a member of the Portland Bead Society, the ORBS (Oregon Regional Beadmakers Society) and the ISGB (International Society of Glass Beadmakers).

Judy makes lampwork beads and designs jewelry - unique and hopefully artful jewelry. She is always striving for new ideas, new shapes in glass.

Judy is inspired by nature (flowers, birds) depicted in glass. She loves abstract lampwork most of all with layers of glass and complexity. She is always striving to that goal.

She has done the work of reasonably exact glass beads - but yearns to break out of that toward something more complex and deep in an artistic sense. She also has a sense of humor and doesn't take herself too seriously - she is the owner of 2 cats, hence the cat beads. Judy likes to laugh and make others smile with her work.

Judy's dream buyer is the Sundance catalog.

Probably the best things she has made are jewelry with her own lampwork beads and semi precious stones that have sold that are really pushing the envelope of what we think of as jewelry and adornment.

Studio Marcy will be one year old on Friday! One lampwork glass cupcake bead free with each order!!!*

Hi, I'm Marcy Lamberson, a glass artist who loves making people smile through my whimsical beads and sculptures.

I use a 2000 degree torch and most of my glass comes from Murano, Italy. Every piece is kiln annealed for durability.

I teach private and group lessons and enjoy taking on custom commissions. While working out of my sunroom studio overlooking my garden and birds, squirrels, chipmunks and occasional wandering possums, sometimes I just made them into beads too! . I make them wear clothes and jewelry when turning them into little fun glass pieces.

Check out my bio on www.etsyglass.com ( http://etsyglass.com/featuredartists.php?featured=4 ) and my blog at http://www.studiomarcy.blogspot.com.

New beads are added almost daily, so stop by often.

Thanks so much,
Marcy
