Just listed today in my Esty Store are these wire wrapped pieces I've taken these lovely lampwork glass beads created by Wilma Whimsey's , fellow eSMArts team member and mix them with AB Swarovski crystals and silver. I finished off the clasp with a tear drop lavendar faceted chalcedony and 2 amethysts, both teardrop and faceted as well.

Let me tell you a little bit about the artist that created these lovely beads. Wilma Travis of "Wilma Whimsey's" is a single mom of three wonderful children and 2 delightful grandchildren. Her oldest son is engaged to be married and will do so in May of 2009. She has a handicapped young adult (27), her youngest son who still lives with her. She was originally from New York, born and raised there. I moved to MN in 1994 and I love she loves it there.

Wilma has been working with glass for several years. She began her journey with stained glass until begining Lampwork in June of 2005.
Here is how you can see more of her lovely work:

A Beaded Affair

Lois of A Beaded Affair is the talent who created this incredible wire wrapped ocean jasper. I like how the center wire curves to reflect the natural curve and circular patterns on this ocean jasper cabochon.

When Lois gets a free moment from running her realty office in Pennsylvania or from wire wrapping gemstones, she seeks out incredibly beautiful bead strands for listing at her "candy” store. She has fancy drilled amazonite, malachite coins, graduated garnet, sardonyx with very striking white stripes, deliciously colored Botswana agate, and so much more.

Lois is currently offering free shipping when you buy 3 items or more at her online shop. Don’t forget to grab some very hard to find square copper wire so you too can give a try at wire wrapping gem cabochons. Check out Lois' A Beaded Affair Etsy store right away. You won’t be disappointed. She is an avid antique jewelry collector too.

I’m so glad to be a teammate with her at the eSMArts Team. Lois will be our store manager for the new eSMArts Team Shop. She is one of the most qualified candidates, plus the fact that she has a big heart.

Proceeds from our team shop support good causes so please check it out! The new eSMArts team shop is filled with a spectrum of handcrafted art created by the artisan team members from around the globe. Where else can you find better one-stop shopping for the upcoming holidays? :)
