betsymn's Shop Announcement

*****FREE SHIPPING on orders over $100.00*****

All of my beads are made by me in my studio in Minnesota, where I live on my little farm with various pets and animals. I work with a GTT torch and American, German and Italian glass. My beads go straight from the torch to a hot kiln, and are digitally-controlled kiln annealed and cooled overnight for increased strength and durability, and then individually cleaned and inspected by me. My beads are done on 1/16 mandrels unless otherwise indicated.

I am a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers, WetCanvas, and Lampwork Etc., and am a Self Representing Artist (#W55).

Payment: I accept Paypal (where you can use your Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card), checks (allow 10 days to clear my bank) and money orders.

Shipping: My beads are bubblewrapped and mailed in sturdy mailing boxes (because of Post Office regulations, international orders will be shipped in bubble envelopes) by USPS First-Class mail. Insurance is optional, but is highly recommended. I cannot be responsible for lost or damaged packages.

Return Policy: If for some reason you are not happy with my beads, I accept returns with prior approval and will refund your purchase price (minus shipping costs) after the beads have been returned. Beads must be returned within 14 days of purchase for a refund.

Details: My beads are photographed in a light tent. The photos have been enlarged to show detail. Please be aware that colors may vary from monitor to monitor.

(As some of you are aware, a person from Texas has been illegally phishing for personal information in order to file false reports to various government agencies. She has targeted a wide variety of artisans from beadmakers and jewelery makers to bakers and soapmakers from all over the country as a personal vendetta. If you would like more information about her, I've been blogging about her since July 24th on my blog, http://greyhavenart.blogspot.com.)
