Another stunning store, this lady sure does have talent.

She says "Whimsy brings me great joy and touches that little girl within me. Most of my creations reflect this aesthetic and frequently incorporate two things I love and enjoy: flower gardens & dogs. All my pieces are one-of-a-kind, oftentimes containing handcrafted Artisan Lampwork glass beads - wonderful little works of Art in themselves.

All of the Artisan Lampwork beads I use in my pieces have been properly kiln annealed by each respective glass artist to ensure long-lasting durability."

Featured Artist - Studio Marcy

Life is good for Artist Marcy Lamberson and it shows in her work.

She's been "melting" glass for over 8 years and loving every minute of it except for the burns, stepping on shards of glass, and other minor problems. Art truly can be dangerous!!!

She teaches in her studio which is a converted sunroom porch and overlooks her lovely backyard. Lots of birds and wildlife populate it. She enjoys forming sculptural amusing beads, but makes all kinds and enjoy the challenge of special orders.

Featured Artist - Cats Paw Artifacts

The owner of this delightful store is Judy Richards. Judy resides in Portland, Oregon and is a member of the Portland Bead Society, the ORBS (Oregon Regional Beadmakers Society) and the ISGB (International Society of Glass Beadmakers).

Inspired by nature Judy loves to make lampwork beads and designs jewelry - unique and hopefully artful jewelry. She is always striving for new ideas, new shapes in glass.

She loves abstract lampwork most of all with layers of glass and complexity. 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.

Having a great sense of humor and Judy is careful not to take herself too seriously - she is the owner of 2 cats, hence the cat beads.

So why not pop into Judys etsy store or take a look at her blog
