Lampwork glass beads

Its July ! Here on the Oregon coast we are still waiting for spring, cold and foggy. Thats it for the weather update...

We have opened For Artsake gallery in Nye beach Newport, after many growing pains its up and running. I am sharing the space with 9 very talented artists...pictures coming.

Here is one of my newer tube beads ....

OK on the sillier side here is a very cool photo, you gotta wonder if its for real ....

OK I have not paid much attention to my webby for a while so here's what I have been up to ....

I have opened a consignment furniture store in half my building, so you can buy beads or decorate your house all in one location, how cool is that?

I'm enjoying it, its like changing your living room every week.

Not only that but I get first dibs on cool stuff...

I came up with the idea because I could not figure a way to sell my nice furniture, so I slept on it & the idea popped into my brain ...

New designs

Mystique

This particular set took me 3 days to make, there is so much experimenting when I first create a new set. These are gorgeous, I used the double helix glass which gives a luminous effect .

Another of my favorites to make gold fumed coils made from boro glass, which is quite trick as I like to make them on 1/16 mandrels, its a bit of a balancing act to not melt through the thin rod due to the hight heat required when working boro.

Caramel colors are divine I played with the pale vetrofond ivory with some surprising results ...

Here is one of my newest designs , squeezed & disk beads work well together...

Welcome to my web site, expect progress not perfection here...I am new at this filling in the blanks. So my site may not be as hip & slick as I'd like, so I'll just muddle along .....

Right is Bella my girlfriend's Bichon a very sweet loving pet only 7 years old and went completely blind while we were out of town for 2 weeks in November 06..She was also in terrible back & hip pain the Vet could only give her pain pills, we did not know what to do she was suffering . So I took her to my Chiropractor he adjusted her, it was a miracle no more pain ...I wanted to share this to every one because we almost put her down Chiropractors are amazing ...Thank you DR Phil
