Wendy started her journey into glass bead making (flame working) in 2003. Her beads are made by melting coloured imported Italian glass rods over a 2200F propane/oxygen flame. The molten glass is then wound onto a stainless steel rod, called a mandrel. By using heat, gravity and a variety of tools a bead is born.

Wendy finds that working with a substance that is molten one minute and solid the next very technically challenging yet liberating for her “Creative Spirit”.

She then anneals her beads in a kiln to remove all the stresses from the glass thus strengthening them; making them more durable. Wendy uses only the finest components such as sterling silver, Bali silver, Swarovski crystals.

Wendy feels very blessed to be able to create these pieces of “wearable art” each one with its own unique personality.
