I'm going through my stash of lampwork beads and deciding which ones I'm willing to part with. Mosaics, stained glass and painting are taking up most of my time this year. ;) You can expect my lampwork designs back in full force next summer!

She's wearing a deep blue kimono with pure silver melted onto the surface. The sleeves are trimmed with my own handmade blue and black twistie cane to match her collar. She's holding a tiny lantern.

The focal bead is a mix of transparent and opaque tangerine glass with a maiko ''painted'' in glass on one side.

I began Lampwork late May of 2005. Something sparked inside of me when I began melting glass and I just took off from there. My mother showed me how to light the torch, melt the glass and wrap it on the mandrel. Other than that I'm self-taught from books and lots of PPP. Up until June 2008 all my work was created on a HotHead torch. Now I'm using a GTT Lynx and LOVE IT! My work is available on my website, Tracybeads.com and also on Ebay under the id azcowboygirl.
