Plays Well With Others

The thing that caught my attention at alilsumptinsumptin was the fact that so many of the gorgeous pieces available include work by other artisans. I love that this jewelry artist can take beads and focals created by others and combine them into stunning and unique accessories. That she donates the proceeds from some of the items to charity makes this shop perfect--so go have a look!

Classic Poodle Necklace, with black and white beads torched by Sarah Friskey, and a custom made black dog focal by Janet Crosby, $200



Blue Rondo a la Turk bracelet, with lampwork heart bead by Janet Crosby, $175.00

Hot Glass!

Judy Richards of Cat’s Paw Artifacts is a fellow Creative Glass Guild of Etsy member, and creates lampworked beads that I drool over. She's also a member of the Portland Bead Society, the ORBS (Oregon Regional Beadmakers Society), and the ISGB (International Society of Glass Beadmakers).


Her lampwork angel pendants are darling! I love the details she's included in them. Can you see the ties on those sashes!?!



This lampworked choker is simply stunning.



Her Lampwork Heart of Gold Pendant is my favorite--it would be beautiful with anything.
