Online shopping with local pickup available. I've made handmade lampwork glass beads for over 20 years. SO fun. Interested in a class? I teach lampwork beadmaking and wire jewelry making. Let me know. :) Check out my merged store at www.dog-cat-collars.com. I've merged Sylcraft beads with my dog and cat collar store for a smooth shopping experience!
