Welcome to my About ME page! Hello! Thanks for checking out my About Me page. I'm Erica Olson, and I make all these beads by hand, one at a time, by myself.I started making jewelry when I was 13. I started out making some (really really) unfortunate earrings. I was hooked, though, and kept on making jewelry as a hobby for years. In 2000, I discovered lampworked beads, and in 2002 I took a class. In 2003 I set up my own studio, and here I am making them full time. (Yes, this is my full time job.) Somewhere in there I went to University and got two Bachelor degrees in Anthropology and Archaeology. These both inform my bead making: on the one hand, the thought of people wearing my beads, having them be a part of their personal adornment-frankly, that thrills me. And the other thought, the archaeological thought-that my beads and jewelry might someday be a part of the archaeological record-well, that thrills me too. I'm currently trying to get more jewelry making skills-I took a class in silver smithing a while back, and I have a few books on some wire techniques that I'd like to try my hand at. But the beads-the dance of the flame, the melting of the glass-those are my primary focus right now. Feel free to check out my bead website at http://www.ericabeads.com/index.php I recently started a bead blog. You can see it here: http://ericamelts.blogspot.com/ Thanks for looking!
