I also enjoy daily interactions with my Facebook Community (Mona Baroody) and writing about my art, life, and work in my blog "Who Does She BEAD She Is?" (best place for sneak peeks at my newest beads and jewelry.) MonaRaeBeads (oneword) is my trade name and where you'll find me on Etsy, Yahoo, and Custom Made!

I've been making lampwork beads since 2004 (and jewelry as long as I can remember.) I started with bead weaving and bead embroidery, and now I really enjoy wire weaving and making sculptural beads from melting glass with a torch. I like commission work because it inspires me to new ideas and creations.

I create artisan glass lampwork beads that are kiln annealed (while they are being made, not after) for strength, durability, and safety. Each bead is a unique work of art that took 1/2 to an hour (sometimes longer) to make.

I welcome all custom orders and creative ideas.

My shipping policies are fair and encouraging for world wide shipping and multiple purchases.

I will ship using recycled materials and package with ultimate security in mind, however I will not use fancy packaging (unless you ask for it).
