June 18, 2008. Welcome to my new studio. The studio has been shut down for some time while we added an addition to our home. My old studio is now a bathroom. My new studio is about 4 times larger. I already think it needs to be twice as big but I feel totally blessed with this new space.

Major update in the works..... 
I am Heather Ferman. I create handmade vessel shaped lampwork glass beads. Some beads are florals while others are organics. I especially like making luster vessel shaped beads. I usually post the focals, but if you are interested in sets to go with the focals, just email me. Most of my beads are created using Effetre,Vetrofond, and Lauscha glass from Europe.
I have beads for immediate purchase.

They are less then 2 inches tall! The beads are much smaller then they look. The detail is achieved with many canes that I spend hours creating before I even start the bead. I especially spend time on creating intricate stamens for each flower. While making the bead, I encase very slowly with clear to avoid bubbles and scum. I take my time while creating each bead, striving to get as close to perfection as possible. I will be posting more beads soon with very intricate flower canes combined into my beads. Stay tuned..............
I was included again in the Bead Review Book 2 and book 3. The book contained the best beads and sets for 2006 and 2007.
I have a focal bead and a set included in book 2 and my aquarium beads in Book 3.
I feel very honored and thankful to have been included in this book for 3 years in a row. The bead below can be found in the Bead Review 2005, The Years Exceptional Art Glass Beads. The book can be purchased at http://www.artofbeadmaking.com/br_2005.html
"Bead Review 2005 honors the world’s glass bead artists and shares the fruits of their labor – their beads." (Quote by the authors)
