I'm Laurie B Smith, Lampworker and Bead Lover.  My passion is lampwork....or beads ...or glass with a hole in it....or almost anything with a hole in it.  I don't like cheap imports, holes or not.  And I have the utmost respect for bead artists of all types.  I started as a seed beader after all.

There are seed bead treasures that will take your breath away....

But, I'm trying to appeal the lampwork jewelry lover.....the person who loves to wear the big beads....to make a statement.....to own art in a tiny form.

As an Independent American Glass Artist, (IndieAmGlArt) I hope that you will enjoy your beads for years to come. 

Please go look....and of course, if something catches your heart....bid!
