5 out of 5 starsI purchased these to make my own earrings and they are so adorable! More detail than I expected. Color is amazing and I will be purchasing more for my business, as well. Thank you.

5 out of 5 starsSuper teeny tiny birdies! They fit very well into the little space I bought them for. I'm not using them as beads, but just to display. The colors are very pretty, and they are super strong and tough - I dropped them several times (accidentally!) and they are undamaged!

5 out of 5 starsI purchased several of these to decorate a tiny Christmas tree after purchasing one ornament originally as a gift. The craftsmanship is outstanding and so detailed...I absolutely love them! I was very impressed with how quickly they were made and arrived (in time for Christmas which I did not expect) and the seller was kind enough to send a little extra elastic hanging cords. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase and highly recommend this shop. Thank you!

A chattering flock of bluebirds of happiness.
As a little kid, my family would visit a local theme park once a year, which had a glassblowing studio/shop. I would stare in awe at the flameworked animal sculptures-- dragons rearing up, dolphins leaping, and impossibly intricate glass castles. I didn't know how or when, but I knew that some day, I would be melting glass of my own.
I didn't get behind my first torch until 2007, but in the meantime, I fell in love with beadwoven jewelry. My favorite components to use are tiny glass seed beads, natural stones, and miniature painted focals. I love the hundreds of small repetitive stitches upon which larger pieces are built, and most of all, I love dreaming up new designs. In 2007, I finally got a chance to take a glass beadmaking course, and since then, I've been combining my passion for glass with beadweaving.

Hello, and welcome! I'm a lampworker, which means I use a torch to melt glass and shape it into things using tools, gravity, and a careful touch. A lot of beautiful things can be made with a bit of fire meditation and imagination!

Care instructions
I am now including an anti-tarnish paper in the bottom of each box, to prevent discoloration of the sterling silver. You can store this paper along with your silver jewelry, preferably in a dry, dark storage space.
Sizing details
Generally I work SMALL, which is part of what makes my birds in particular so unique. Please be sure to check the size info, and to look at the comparison photos with the jewelry next to a dime for a size reference.
Quality of the glass
All of my glass beads are handmade by me, in my home lampworking studio. Directly after making, all of my beads are properly annealed in a digitally-controlled kiln for strength and durability.
The bird beads have some parts that stick out. A hard drop, or letting them bang against each other, could lead to breakage, so it's best to avoid these situations.
VAT import taxes
Please know that I do NOT collect VAT/import taxes, and you will be responsible for any additional charges that may apply to products you purchase.
