Not being too much into jewelry making, I love it when I find things that are ready made for me to add my beads to it to make it original and one of a kind. The design of this bottle opener was created by me using random beads from my stash mixed and matched to create a one of a kind bottle opener that would make a wonderful gift for any occasion. The beads I used on this bottle opener are all made by me with Morretti glass. The primary color in this design is a light pea green. I chose each bead to compliment the others. The focal bead was created using some silvered glass so it is a little different. I used different shapes and sizes but they all coordinate to create a cohesive design. My beads are all top quality, have been properly annealed in my digitally controlled kiln, and are all dressed and ready to be used. I personally guarantee my work and if for any reason you are not satisfied I will gladly replace, exchange or refund your purchase after return.

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!!
