| Hello, and welcome to Maybeads! My name is Lauren Mazursky, and I am the creator of these little nuggets of fun.
Unlike most bead artists I have read about, I have not been an artist all my life. The most creative thing I could take credit for was drawing funny faces on the bananas my kids would take in their lunches. But I have always appreciated all kinds of artwork, and my sister is an artist so I have actually lived with an artist, but that is about the extent of my personal art background. I was a newspaper reporter before I had kids, plus I waited tables for about 18 years. After I quit my waitressing job, I decided to do something for myself and I signed up for a bracelet-making class at a local craft store. It was either that or cake decorating, and I knew how much trouble I could get into with frosting! I loved the jewelry class, but I wasn't crazy about the factory-manufactured beads. I began looking online at beads and soon discovered lampwork beads. To put it mildly, I was fascinated. After ogling the beads for weeks, I found a place (TLD Design Center in Westmont, IL) to take a beginner's lampworking class and I signed up. Meanwhile, I read every lampworking book I could get my hands on! The class was excellent, and I was completely hooked. I went home that night and made more beads. I was not a natural -- my beads were funky and lopsided -- but I loved it! |

| I seem to lean towards sculptural animal beads, also called critter beads. It all started with a penguin . . . but I've experimented with all sorts of critters and I hope to share them with you here. Thank you for looking at my beads - I appreciate your interest!
