Welcome to Dakota Sun Studios!
I am glad you stopped by to look at my handcrafted lampwork beads and jewelry which are made in my home studio.
Please click on the gallery link on the left side to see previously sold beads.
About the beads
All of my lampwork beads are handmade by me in my home studio. They are wound on a 3/32" mandrel and are immediately placed in my digital kiln for annealing. Annealing increases their strength and durability. The holes are carefully cleaned of bead release and are ready for your unique creations. I use Italian, German, and American boutique glass.
I am a self representing artist (M-126), a member of ISGB (International Society of Glass Beadmakers) and various other bead groups.
I am selling most of my beads on etsy right now and in the process of getting them posted there. The link is: http://dakotasunstudios.etsy.com Check it out ~ etsy is fun and not an auction based format for shopping.
11.06.08: It has been a very long time since I wrote a note or put any new beads up here. Guess I have to work on that!
We are in the midst of a blizzard right now - which is giving me some good beadmaking time. I've been busy on special orders and Christmas gifts. I bought a few tutorials from some of the beadmakers on LE. I am having a blast trying new things.
and here (not really, but I will let you know when I do!)
Thanks for looking!
