I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason - whether it be good, bad or indifferent. In this case, meeting Becky Mason on Etsy was a VERY good thing. More on this later.Above is one of the most gorgeous lampwork beads I have ever seen. It is called "SEA TURTLE SANCTUARY" and this is what brought me to Becky. I found it in a Treasury that my good friend Sharon had made. I was immediately drawn to it - like the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I found myself drawn to her shop and immediately hearted it. Even Mark was in awe of her amazing talent. After reading her Profile, I sent her a message of how much I admire her work. Becky replied... more on this later.
Oh, the Sea Turtle Sanctuary bead has since sold, but you must check it out to see the rest of the details of this beautiful piece of art.
Above is Becky's "PREHISTORIC OCEANIC HISTORY - 3 - a handmade lampwork focal bead with fish bones and barnacles" and I am in LOVE with it!
Becky Mason is Lampwork Artist & Jewelry Designer and comes from a very talented family. She was selling on Ebay for about 5 years until Diane, her talented Lampwork Artist sister who already had an Etsy shop, suggested that Becky set up her own Etsy shop as well. I suggest you read Becky's Profile to find out more about this very talented artist. It is very impressive and will make you that much more of a fan.
This lovely piece is titled "WILD MUSE" and a must see! I just can't explain enough how truly amazed I am by Becky's talented hands. She simply amazes me. Truly she does. In fact, it would be a lot easier for you to just run on over to her shop, or her website to see for yourself. Also check out her sold items - WOW!Oh. About the "more later part". I'll make this short because this blog feature isn't about me, but I wanted to tell you how my new addition came about. Becky wanted longer & heavier gauge headpins and strongly suggested I make them for my shop as well. So I did.
Like they say: "if you build it, they will come." Bada Boom, Bada Bang! Thank you Becky, you ROCK!Happy Creating Monday!

Becky's work is amazing and she's such a fabulous artist! So very happy that you two found each other. ;-) Wonderful write up my friend and I love the beads you featured - too gorgeous!! I think the aspect that stands out to me the most in her work is the depth in each bead. It's like viewing a subterranean wonder!

Rocki - I must say that I am truly honored and humbled that you chose to highlight my beads in your blog. Reading the comments that the others have left makes this artist's heart sing with joy! Thank you so much for sharing my creations with some of your web-friends. I love creating beautiful little works of art through my glass beads, and knowing that other people out there also enjoy seeing what I've created makes it that much more fun!
Thanks again! And thanks for creating the long heavy-gauge silver headpins for me and my fellow lampwork artists/jewelry makers. I hope you sell lots of them!
