beeboo

Hi, I'm Beth Mellor, glass artisan and jewelry designer creating handcrafted beads and jewelry under the guise of Beeboo since 1998. What is Beeboo? The studio was named for my children, Bee & Boo, who were then just two- and four-years-old.

Thanks to carpenter/husband James, my first beadmaking studio was launched in a converted screen porch at my home for late-night hot glass play. I still use that studio space to this day for most hot glass work. I have a secondary studio for fusing glass, jewelry design and jewelry display in the basement of my former middle school building in beautiful, peaceful Princeton, Massachusetts.

On a personal note... My father, Herb Maynard, passed away in 2005 after a long battle with ALS - Lou Gehrig's Disease and my mother, Natalie, was the primary caregiver. Throughout the illness they would relish and embrace life and love with humor and grace. They are my inspiration. Thank you for visiting, Beth/Beeboo
