Glass Art Lampwork Beads and Jewelry by Melissa Vess
Melissabeads's Shop Announcement
♥♥♥ My passion for art has been with me since I was a little girl. I have dabbled with photography, painting, drawing and I have a degree from the Art Institute of Colorado. I had never quite found my "niche" in the art world until I began my journey into the flame. Since that time I spend every bit of free time working with glass and trying to improve my skills.
You will also notice that my work is touched by the sea! I am a scuba diver and all of my travels have a major impact on my work. Not only do I create fish and sea creature beads.. but the colors and patterns from different artisans work from other cultures always have a way of showing up while I am at my torch!
My beads are all lovingly created in my sunny studio in beautiful Colorado. Originality and quality are my main goals. All of my beads are properly kiln annealed and meticulously cleaned with a dremel diamond reamer. Most of my beads are made on 1/16th mandrels and are made from imported Italian or German glass as well as American Boutique glass. All of my work is unconditionally guaranteed. My customers should be as happy with my beads as I am. I welcome custom orders and will do my best to fulfill them. If you have seen my work and would like a similar set, please note that these are original one of a kind pieces and though I can try to duplicate them, they will never be exact.
