Thanks for visiting Avas Bead Garden !! Look for new listings regularly. Don't forget to always include SRA in your search for lampwork beads and support the most creative independent glass artisans and glass studios :O) You will find the most unique and in alot of studios, one of a kind bead designs from SRA glass bead artisans. International buyers, please read additional shipping info before you make a final purchase :O)
My name is Stephanie and I have been behind the torch since 2003. All of the beads sold in my etsy shop are made be me, one at time in my cellar studio. If you would like to learn more about me, my beads, or my studio please check me out on http://www.indiepublic.com/profile/StephanieMcCain.
I use a variety of premium glass from Effetre, Vetrofond, Double Helix, Gaffer, Reichenbach, Lauscha, CIM, and Bullseye. I hold to the strictest of standards with my beads. My beads are annealed as soon as they are made in a digitally controlled kiln for everlasting strength and durability, very thoroughly cleaned, carefully examined for flaws, and artfully strung just for you. I add new items regularly so please visit often :O)
I am always very happy and willing to make repeats of sets previously sold, but please keep in mind that it is impossible to create an identical twin of the original. There may be slight variations in shade, size, and glass reactions. However, it will be so close to an identical twin you will not be able to spot the differences :O) For anyone interested in made to order beads or have a custom request, I offer a choice of either 1/16th or 3/32 inch mandrel size. Just convo me after you order if you prefer the 3/32 inch size.
If you desire beads and live in a country not listed in my 'ships to', just send me a convo. In most cases I will allow the sale.
Thank you so much for your interest and please email me if you have any questions about my glass beadwork.
