I have been making my church window beads in various forms for a long time, I’m holding some in the sunlight on my business card, that’s how much I love them.  🙂  Like my Cathedral Window beads these are directly influenced by my grandfather who was an amazing artist and did stained glass installations in churches around West Texas, many of which still have active congregations.

Come like me on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Astrid-Boyce-Beads/363829296980642 For tool reviews, techniques, and whatever crosses my mind please come visit my blog: http://astridboyce.blogspot.com All my lampwork is properly kiln annealed, cleaned, and carefully inspected. I create most of my own metal components. When I have not created the metal or bead used it will be so noted in the listing. I'm a native Texan married with two kids, three cats, and one spoiled dachshund. Creating with glass is my passion. I also enjoy metalsmithing, wirework, crochet, and sewing. Oh, and shopping on Etsy! :) When I'm not lampworking you can catch me riding around Texas in my truck hunting for new antique stores, attending museum shows and galleries, or hanging out on my backyard swing reading. I also enjoy making beads for Beads of Courage. Beads of Courage is a program that provides beads to children in cancer treatment to help them mark their journey. It is a remarkable program and I am honored to be able to participate in some small way. You can read more about the organization here: http://www.beadsofcourage.org I contribute at least once a month to a animal rescue group, some locally and some in areas far away from me. Animals have given me so much in my life so I try to give back as often as I can. >^..^< View all posts by alb6094
