About

Finding my Niche

I began making lampwork beads in 2003 after falling in love with the glass beads I was buying from other beadmakers for my jewelry designs. I dragged my Mom along to a beginner's lampworking class and our lives changed forever. I set us up a home studio in my garage and we started our business, Bead Addicts, together a few months later. Mother lost her long, hard-fought battle with cancer in Sept. 2013, but I wanted to retain the business name she picked to honor her legacy.

Glass beads changed my life forever. Being part of the lampworking community expanded my creativity and turned some of my "imaginary friends" that I originally met on the internet into some of the BEST friends I've ever had. I got involved with the International Society of Glass Beadmakers several years ago, and am now currently serving as ISGB president.

I have a regular day job that gets me out of the studio (much more than I'd like), but the hours I spend behind the torch are the most fulfilling creative time I've ever experienced. After years of dabbling in seed beading, bead stringing, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching and every other craft/hobby you can imagine, flameworking just resonates. When I get in from a hard day behind the desk, change into my jammies and light my torch, I really know I'm HOME.

    I began making lampwork beads in 2003, and launched my business, Bead Addicts, in partnership with my mother. She lost her battle with cancer in the fall of 2013, but I wanted to honor her legacy and memory by keeping the name of our business.

I believe that beads make the world a happier place, and I'm thrilled to be a part of spreading the joy. If my beads don't make you happy, just return them and I'll cheerfully work to replace them with ones that do, or I'll be glad to refund your purchase price in full....no questions asked.

My lampwork beads are handcrafted with love and care in my home studio and are always properly kiln annealed, thoroughly cleaned and ready to become part of your heirloom quality designs. Any jewelry offered for sale in my shop is constructed of only the finest high-quality components, and I strive to build the "WOW" factor into every piece I design.
