Flowers Flowers Flowers I am in a race with Mother Nature to see who has the best box of crayons! All of my flowers are made on the mandrel in one piece. I use nothing but soft glass and a lot of enamels.

Bead Review Book II Pg 63-64



 Artist:   BarbSvetlick  ( ) Contact Artist 
2008 my flowers are used by Austin Artist Sandra Webster in Beaded Jewerly by Susan Ray, pages 169-175. I have been working with Sandi for years.

I will also be in a Lark Publication by Jeri Warhaftig on Intermediate Beadmaking this was the first piece I had professionally photographed by Jerry Anthony.

My Cherry Blossom Sculpture combines my flowers with my first book, The Visitor [which is a romantic gothic novel], and has been picked for the Out of the Box Juried Exhibit. It will be shown in the Ohiol Glass Museum, at the Bead and Button Show and at the Frank Bette Center for the Arts during the ISGB Gathering.

2007 gave me the chance to showcase in the Bead Review Book II where I have two pieces and then juried into the ISGB Metamorphisis Gallery Show.


I'm also working with Melinda and Lynn on the SRA Project which allows me to meet so many artists as well as the Hope Bead Project for the fourth year. To give in life is to never need.

My love right now is in writing, expanding my music taste, collecting signed lithographs, centering my life and expanding what I and other artists do with my flowers.
