Paperweight Beads

Posted by Tracy Jerrell Akhtar on 8/23/2008
Well at first I was going to call them Garden Globes, but then a woman who works here at the Armory said they reminded her of her grandmother's paperweight collection. I think "Paperweight Beads" will be the umbrella name and then I'll have different styles, like Garden Globes for the florals, etc. I was so happy that they brought back a treasured memory for her.

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.
