5 out of 5 starsI almost didn't purchase these. But I kept thinking about them and finally went back and added them to my order....I am so glad that I did! They are GORGEOUS!!! I am not sure what I will end up making with them, yet. But what ever it is.....it will be beautiful.....just because of these stunning beads! Mary Ann does it again! And thank you for my surprise supplies, my friend! Did my items meet my expectations? Oh Hell, yes!

One Bead at a Time
I first discovered Etsy back in 2008, a couple of years after my jewelry creating began. At first, I was pretty clueless as to what to do in terms of selling anything. I had started a website http://artisanbeadsplus.com, which still exists, but was not practical for selling.
My jewelry making eventually led me to creating beads. I started off creating earthenware, and graduated to porcelain. I also have the opportunity three to four times a year to create wood-fired beads. That is a very unique opportunity since there are limited wood-fire kilns in the US and I happen to have an artist husband who built one on our land http://splitfirepottery.com.
From my ceramic bead making, I shifted into enameling beads, which is also something I love to do. I am an artist who stays interested and motivated by switching it up every now that then. That is why you will find a variety of items in my shop.

Made to order beads cannot be returned or exchanged. If you change you mind I accept cancellations within 24 hours. These are made after the order is put in and I do not keep them on hand. Please be sure that you read full description for size, etc. and view all pictures because the light may vary.

Payment
Shipping
INTERNATIONAL: I will refund any significant overcharges after I ship your item. I am finding that I can't really average any overseas shipping as I can in the US. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
RECEIPTS: If you need a printed receipt, please convo me with that request. I am trying to cut down on the amount of ink and paper (being green) that I'm using. Thanks.
Additional policies and FAQs
For my ceramic beads, I mainly use commercial glazes sold by Mayco and Coyote. On occasion, I purchase glazes made in a ceramics supplier in Syracuse, New York. I do not purchase glazes that list lead as an ingredient.
I glaze the wood fire beads with glazes that my husband makes. They do not contain lead.
Please remember that beads are not intended for children.
Thank-you!
MaryAnn
