I have always loved creating as far back as I can remember- Must be something in the genes. I got it from my mother and father, as they got it from theirs and theirs before them and so on. It only seemed natural that I would follow into various forms of art and crafting. I had started making jewelry at about 12 years old...that led me from buying materials to creating my own with clays and eventually lampworking way back (Oh, about 18 years ago). Back then, I started out selling as Belle Beads on Ebay and Etsy. in about 2010 I partnered with my mother and together we formed Family Flame Artisan Beads on Ebay, and Clazz Boutique on Etsy.
Due to life's challenges, in 2014 we where forced to step away from our partnership and I took on my "modern" career full time. But, we also found other ways to create and keep our hands busy while we moved and built new work spaces.
Now, thanks to a pandemic I am back! I decided to change my shop name, as I have much more to offer than just beautiful glass beads. I wanted my shop name to reflect that yet still be cohesive to when I started. I will be working on stocking the shop, creating and homeschooling so please bear with me as I get back into the swing of things. I hope you enjoy your visit! Stay healthy and safe :)
:) Thank you,
Adrianne
