Welcome to my etsy store, I am so excited to be a apart of this community! All my beads and fused art are made with soft glass, Effetre, Lauscha Vetrofond or Bullseye. The beads go from the flame to the kiln and are properly annealed overnight for strength and durability. All handmade by me here at Whisperwind Farm in my studio a.k.a. my half of the pole barn! I have been lampworking for 6 years and love every minute of every hour I get to spend working at the torch. Thanks so much for stopping by. Any ????'s just ask! Smiles, Julia
