Welcome to FireBearDesigns! My name is Carol and I am a photographer and lampwork artist living in wonderful scenic Alaska.
While photography and lampwork may seem an odd combination, they are really just different forms of glass! As a photographer, I work with both film and digital media with primarily digital output. I work mainly with Zeiss lenses - I love the German glass. As a lampwork artist, I really enjoy working in Bullseye glass and this is my primary medium (although I do enjoy taking some time to enjoy the color and variety of Italian glass now and again).
Here in my Etsy store, I offer handmade lampwork beads, jewlery and cards. I hope you will enjoy the selection of quality handmade items.
Be sure to check out the Design Garden! Here you can find deals on various shop items as I cultivate new ideas, try new techniques, play with new colors and materials or retire some old favorites. You never know, you may find a sweet deal on some Wild Garden Thang that you just must have! :-)
Thanks for stopping by my shop! As most creative projects are, this is a work in progress so please stop by often to see what's new and feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions.
