With time, I learned to enjoy the convenience of not needing a calendar anymore.

Enchanting Beads: Lampworking is an ancient art of manipulating glass in a flame. My lampworking results in enchanting glass beads ready for jewelry making or simply to collect and admire. All lampwork beads are lovingly designed in the torch flame by Michelle Hershman in coastal Alabama then carefully annealed in a digitally controlled kiln to ensure long life of the lampworked bead. The lampwork beads come to you ready to use in your designs. Unless otherwise specified, the lampwork beads are made on 3/32" mandrels and have a hole of about 2.4mm. I use soft glass for the majority of my beads. The lampwork beads listed in the Ready to Ship area are ready to ship.
