Rarely am I left speechless by someone's talent, but I literally had to put off posting about today's shop a few days simply because I was so impressed by the artist's work that I just couldn't find the words!
Today I'd like to introduce you to KerriBeads on Etsy which is filled with gorgeously detailed lampwork beads of all sizes and styles. This artist has done things with lampwork glass that I didn't even realize were possible and her work is, hands down, the most remarkable lampwork artistry that I've ever seen.
Kerri Fuhr is a full-time glass bead artist who has been designing these gorgeous beads for over seven years now and with talent like hers, you can only imagine how many long hours she's spent working at the torch to develop such a detailed and uniquely beautiful style.
Kerri's specialty is creating miniature glass "paintings", which are ornate glass focal beads that feature landscapes, animals, dragonflies (I love the dragonflies!!) and more. She also has some absolutely gorgeous sets of tapestry beads that are just breathtaking.
She also offers custom work and, for the holiday season, offers the option of having any of her beads designed into a pendant or necklace for gift giving!

"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there..."
Yep! It's that time of year again.
