If you've found this page you are probably wondering what happened to my lampwork bead catalog. Well...

After a year of struggling with back problems I'm still looking at almost another half-year of therapy. This has made glass beadmaking in any sort of production capacity impossible. I'm lucky if I can make one bead a week. So, after much heartache and a long look at reality, I've decided to drop the catalog. I'm just going to be doing beads as a hobby now.

However, I have this website that has been around since 2005 and I really didn't want to give it up. Therefore I've decided to change it's focus to lampwork and glass news focusing on other people's beads and jewelry, shows, tutorials, etc. I'm also looking at a forum and perhaps some social aspects for this site. I'd love to have this become a place where people share their wonderful creations. And I believe firmly that lampwork art should be supported and promoted for the joy of all.

Anyway, that's where I am now. I hope you will join me. It should be fun.
