"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to my fellow-creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again"--Stephen Grellet

My beads are hand wound on 1/16 mandrel using Italian Moretti, German Lauscha, and Bullseye glass.  I prefer to make my beads on the "boutique sized" small and dainty side.  I find it more of a challenge to decorate such a little canvas....thus making the work a little more demanding but all the more satisfying...All my round beads measure 7-12 mm . Beads are kiln annealed for beauty and durability.  No two beads are exactly alike
