I know I've mentioned how much I love everything about glass, but I have to mention it again. I love glass! I am in complete awe of those who do torchwork--check out the detail on these pieces from Studio Marcy--and each one is less than an inch tall! To make this shop the perfect, not only does Marcy make cute beads, she also creates quirky ones. The alien is my favorite!
Animal lover Shannon Saylor creates lovely beaded jewelry: anklets, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, even sets--and some of her prettiest pieces feature glass beads. (Of course, I'm always partial to glass. ) She's a member of Etsy for Animals, so a portion of her sales go to animal-related charities. The photos here are a small sample of her work, visit her shop and have a browse around, you're sure to find something perfect!
