Purse hangers have really come into vogue lately and the hanger design that my handmade cabochon adorns is very clever. They are used to hang your purse on, from a table or the arm of a chair, whenever eating out, at a bridge party or a night club . It's great because instead of hanging your purse on the back of a chair where someone could take it or bump into it, you have it in a closer more secure place. This one folds up neatly to stash in your purse and comes with an organza pouch. Most purse hangers you see come with some kind of machine made ornament on top made in China, or some kind of ornament that is just popped into the frame. The cabochon on this one is handmade by me using Morretti glass. It has a yellow base, a clear layer of glass with a raised periwinkle and light blue flower design and raised green dots on top. It is truly unique and set apart from other purse hangers you'll find online. I create each cab in the flame as lampwork beads are made, then they are popped in my digitally controlled kiln to anneal over night. They have been carefully cleaned out on the bottom by my sweet handy husband who carefully sets them in the purse hanger frame using an epoxy concoction to permanently adhere them. I personally guarantee all my work so if for any reason you are not satisfied you may contact me for an exchange, repair, or refund. My goal is customer satisfaction!

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.

For Flower Focal BeadsI 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!!
