Glass Pendants For The Birds
This is a sample of some of my sculptural glass bead work. I was inspired by the birdhouses I have hanging in the low limbs of my Live Oak tree. I'm a bird lover and I wanted to do something that would be fun and adorable at the same time! These are pendants that are presented on a silver plated system uses by glass beadmakers to highlight their work.

Meet the Maker
Grace Dorsey
Graceful Bead Designs
I am a self representing artist, making glass beads using 104 COE glass from various makers.
I particularly enjoy making beads that are organic. I also enjoy doing sculptural pieces. Anything I do is one of a kind. I can try to be exact, but soft glass has no exact nature.
I'm willing to try new things, I actually thrive on a challenge. But if I can't do it, I'm straight up honest if I can't fulfill your wishes.

Jun 21, 2013I was so happy when Grace agreed to try her hand at recreating her vision of these beads. Not only does she have innumerable years of experience creating unique and gorgeous lamp work beads, she exhibits an innate instinct for color, creative vision and perfection. I was immediately drawn to her willingness to listen, as well as the ease with which she interpreted exactly what I wanted. She then proceeded to create immediately, without fear or trepidation, the most beautiful beads. She is a very capable lamp work artist in every aspect of bead making. I shall not hesitate to call upon her services for all future endeavors, and I highly recommend her to any others who have come to expect excellence in custom lamp work beads. Thank you Grace, for a job well done! BRAVO!!
