Welcome to Babs Beads & Design!
My passion is melting glass and shaping it to beads. In other words: the ancient art of lampworking.
Glass is a marvelouse thing. It's shiny and beautiful. It's strong and fragile. It can be smooth or sharp. It can be transparent and let the light run through it or opaque, bouncing the light from its surface.
You can let the fluid material be spherical or shape it into sculptural figures. Imagination and skill are the two limitations to glass.
Every bead is a unique piece of art - the perfect thing for someone looking for that special extra and a personal touch.
The beads I make are sold as they are or made into jewelry, wich I also sell. If you find a bead you like I'm always willing to make a pice of it for you! Please visit my ArtFire studio if you are interested!
If you want to get instant notes on my updates, please follow me at Twitter. You can also join Babs Beads & Design Facebook fanclub.
Since March 2009 I'm a proud member of SRA - SelfRepresenting Artist. That's a quality mark as only people making and selling their own glass beads can be members.
