Why I like Bead Artists Who Really Make Their Own Beads, in other words, BUY TRULY HANDMADE THIS SEASON! Part 2!

Let me give you some examples of handcrafted art!

Candice makes some amazing dread beads.  She also works in polymer clay.  Take a look at her polymer clay cuff bracelets!  Wow!  I wish I could make them like she does!




Here's the link to this bead.

Here's the link to Candice's Etsy Store.






Laurie Ament makes great beads, too!  Look at this fish.

You can also find her on Facebook.

As if Laurie weren't busy enough, she's the advertising sales person for the Glass Bead Evolution Magazine for the ISGB.  If you would like to advertise, and it's a great magazine, here's her email address: sales@isgb.org
 
 
This bead was made by Gay Massender.  I love it!  She used a reverse painting method on the bead!
