So eloquent, so true!

This is my favorite! So earthy!

This will fit beads wound on a 3/32" mandrel. This bracelet is a little small for troll beads. I do have some bracelets that will fit Pandora/Troll (large hole) beads though.

is this the size i need for trollbeads?

beautiful beads. wonderful site.

These are absolutely adorable!!

~Thank You Candy!

I love your page. Will come again.

I am finding that etched beads really look beautiful.

Love these!

Fantastic site. I love your beads. I met you in Las Vegas and am more wowed since I visited your site.

Hey Donna! Can't wait to meet you in person, though after our ph conversation, I feel like I've known you for a long time! You are so artistic, & your beads look great, so I'm also eager to check them out when I take Corina's class. Take care & hope you feel better soon! ;)

Hi, I found your site through twitter. I bead and wire wrap and I think your beads are beautiful.

Hawaii, how cool! Be sure to take lots of pictures for us. :)

Thanks for your openness, your open heart and mind. I am using the computor to help in my future "life" when i get to restart lampworking. I was referred to this from the Mandrel. Is that your store? I have found no other lampworking stores local to los angeles county. I am in Van Nuys, and if i can get relief (caregiving a friend) I will come by and buy my stuff there likely, tools. I want to get lessons likewise as I hope to be able to get out sometime....Meanwhile, I am studying via You Tube, and your work has given me hope that some day I will have my life back too. Thanks for the inspiration. I would love to be a silent partner in a local store, right now it is all I can do to keep up with my own business (bird food) just lost a 24 yr employee!...the manager...Well take care and hopefully will get out soon to the store. Thanks again for the diversion, for me, enjoying your blogs....truly,

Judee Kleinman

PS I want to restart in boro! It appears you dont have to go so nuts keeping the WHOLE thing hot lol like those chinese spinning plate performers!

Whoa! No doubt your beads are beautiful; I love them. But I've never looked at your Other Artwork page until now. You have some really nice work in there. And I never noticed before that The Mandrel logo was a female figure for the body of the butterfly. I just saw the butterfly until I saw your tattoo pics on here.

I understand your control issues....i have them too...I am a lampworker and i am in cali for a month due to a daeath in my family-I am looking for a place to blow while i am down here-- I live in Republic wa. and idid bring my torch tools and raw glass so all i need is a place with fuel, ventalation and a kiln.. I am in the fontana area but could travel a bit. I have been blowing for about 10 years and know enough i could help a newbee out or collabrate or pay a rental charge any help i could get would be awsome... nice work by the way. thanks hope to hear from you

I found your site quite a while back and stowed it in my favorites. Then I saw you and your work at the Pasadena Bead show (my friend and I both love your work) but didn't put the two together. Finally, I and checking out your site and really enjoy it. I'm in the market for eye candy only at the moment, but look forward to having some of your beads in the future. Is your shop open for droppers in?

BRAVO DONNA! Perfectly stated, and absolutely true!

For those of you who still refuse to pay for good quality beads, I'm sure there will always be a market for cheap stuff...it's just not what I want to be part of.

I Want these beads!!!

***sorry Joey, they've been sold. But Thank You!***

Your work is fabulous - you have a unique touch!

Very lovely necklace. I am curious how you wrap the fibers and ribbons. I am always amazed with someone so talented. I love the colors you used. Are you going to make more necklaces like this in more colors?

Kindest regards,

Rhonda

<3<3<3

Yay P-Hoe-Nix!

I think you guys should come back here, too!

And I definitely think I need to stow away in your luggage for Hawaii. What is the weight limit again? =)

absolutely wonderful Wife's website. Please enjoy!

hi donna-

you probably don't remember me but i was at the pasadena design show in Jan and bought one of your beads to mount on my shibori ribbon. i have been doing more events geared toward beaders and use that piece as a sample to show what can be done with the ribbon. the piece is always a showstopper! i just did an event at a bead shop yesterday and i cannot tell you how many ribbons i sold as a result of that piece- thanks! will you be at the august pasadena show? (i will) we're going to have a field day soon and come to your shop- friend of mine wants one of your beads to go on a ribbon for herself...

what show were you recently at that wasn't "the bomb"?

hope phoenix is better....retail a bit tricky at the moment i think....cheers

Alright Donna! Way to go!

Just lovely!

Hi Cousin, I would love to see your show in Phoenix in May please get in touch with me.
