Recently, it has come to light that there are folks selling "lampwork" beads on ebay that are actually mass produced. These beads are being misrepresented. When you see this symbol, you know that this seller is an artist who makes each bead one at a time. This is a labor intensive process and it requires lots of time and effort. Please support artists who are creating lampwork one bead at a time

Hi!  I hope this update finds you all well and enjoying 2009!  Things at Grace Lampwork are exciting.  I have purchased a bead press and am moving in the direction of adding the silver cores to my lampwork beads.  I should have beads that are compatible with Pandora/Troll style bracelets very soon. 

Also, I will be showing my finished work at an all artists show in March. Here are the details for that:

  Date:  Sunday, March 29, 2009

 Place:  Glades Pike Winery, Somerset

Time:  Noon - 4:00 p.m.

This will be the first public showing of my Pandora/Troll compatible beads.  If you have one of these bracelets or know someone who does, don't miss this event!  I will also have my own finished Lampwork jewelry available at this event.  

Hope to see you there!

Jodi

p.s. - Hi Mom!

Here is a very recent picture of Donald and I. It was taken by our local newspaper outside of our market on Main Street.  We were named Best Place for Produce by our community and we were pleased to accept that award!  If you come to Somerset, PA please stop by Cascio's Fruit Market and say hello.

I have had the photo of Donald and I and the boys up long enough for the boys to look out of date. A friend recently snapped this shot and we were pleased to have a reasonably decent shot of Donald and I. I figured since my site was getting a new look it deserved to have a fresh shot of us. The next time I get an updated family shot, I will post it. In the meantime enjoy this photo
