glassdancer's Profile

Bio

I have been creating beadwork for many years now, traveling and selling at art, music and renaissance festivals all over the eastern U.S. in my van, pulling my little studio trailer, accompanied by my sweetie and 2 kids of the avian persuasion.
I feel very fortunate to be able to make my living doing what I love-bringing a little beauty into the world and maybe a smile to a few faces.
I use quality glass beads, never plastic, from the Czech Republic and Japan, and my work is very durable even though it looks delicate! I absolutely guarantee my own work and will fix any problem you have - barring loss or total destruction by fire, etc., of course - for as long as I am physically able!

All of my designs are original- meaning I made them up out of my little pea brain (not to be used or copied without my written permission, please) and made by my hands using no commercial patterns or books. I am very proud of how far I have come in my work, and looking forward to getting better every day.


I'm afraid I am unable to accommodate custom orders, but I do thank you for looking at what pieces i have are for sale on etsy! I have a lot of work not listed on Etsy -if you like a pattern and want to see what I have in other color schemes, send me a convo and I'll look for you!
