Sari Glassman's Rainbow Lampwork Bead Jewelry

Posted: 30 Aug 2011 04:00 AM PDT

Israel based Sari Glassman is accomplished in not one but a number of jewelry making techniques. She is a lampwork, fused glass and wire work artisan with a wonderful eye for color and design.

What first caught my eye were her colorful lampwork
jewelry although she does make neutral hued pieces as well. Check out her store on Boticca and you will see what I mean.

Sari was once a math teacher who gave up her profession to care for her son who was born with cerebral palsy. Her then glass hobby later became her home based business. She said, " I should discovered it much sooner with my family name!" She demonstrates a phenomenon called nominative determinism just like I do with a name like Pearl! (Check out my past post about nominative determinism)

Sari also sells her funky lampwork beads in her Etsy store called Gaialai. Again, what stands out is her delightful way with color and form. Catch up with Sari's latest on her blog.
