BrownDogGlassBeads

Do you like original, authentically handmade jewelry? Not like everyone else is wearing? Well, lampwork beads might be your thing. Lampwork is Italian glass melted into beads with a gas torch, formed while molten hot. Beads are then annealed in a kiln for durability. Each bead is individually made. I love making glass beads and hope you enjoy them too.

We love our brown Chessie dog thus I have named my ETSY shop Brown Dog Glass Beads. My business name is Beaver Island Jewelry so please check out my website at http://www.BeaverIslandJewelry.com. I am physically located in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the winter and Beaver Island, Michigan in the summer. My glass beads are made right here in the USA. I am a retired wetland biologist so that is why you will see lots of frogs and other natural things on my beads. You can also buy my beads at Stony Creek Bead Shop in Ypsilanti, Michigan, right off I-94 and Huron, for local SE Michiganders.

Check out Beaver Island if you want to "step back in time." A car ferry will transport you to this island in the middle of northern Lake Michigan. Lots of natural areas, beaches, trails, biking.

Thanks for visiting Brown Dog Glass Beads! I have tons of other jewelry and beads but only am showing a small portion here on ETSY. Since I am a one person (and one dog) operation, I can only show a few of my items. If you would like to see something specific, please ask me, I'll take a picture and show you.
