Marvelous Mosaics

Brightly colored bits and pieces come together to create stunning works of art in this ArtFire shop that will have you basking in the warm glow of spring and forgetting about the rain and snow outside. Bill, of GlassArts Studio (closed), is a self-taught glass artist who fashions spectacular stained-glass pieces and mixed-media mosaics in an eye-catching array of colors.

Whether you are looking for an indoor or outdoor piece, you will find it here, and if you have a design in mind, Bill is happy to take custom orders. With over 20 years of experience, this skilled craftsman will create the perfect heirloom quality artwork to be enjoyed for many, many years to come.

Bill assembles his magnificent masterpieces in Pennsylvania, ships to the United States, and can also be found on Etsy. His website displays more samples of his remarkable art, including an awesome Rainbow Sparkle Fish statue. What a unique conversation piece this would be on the porch or in the yard. Bravo Bill, your work is amazing!

Floral Lampwork Beads

Introducing an original and inspired lampwork bead shop, BlissfulGardenBeads, on ArtFire. Heather has been designing and creating lampwork beads for over a decade. This self-taught full-time artist takes her primary inspiration from the beauty of nature, and bouquets of rose and tulip beads grace her shop. Her delicate and feminine creations are available in a wide range of colors and combinations.

If you are looking to create one-of-a-kind heirloom quality jewelry, you have to start with unique and exquisite beads, and this is definitely the place to see an unparalleled selection. Each beautiful bead is by itself an exceptional handcrafted work of art, and no two beads will be identical. I am amazed at the complexity of her designs, and can appreciate the skill and steady hand it takes to create them.

Heather masterfully fashions her bead flower garden in Washington State, ships internationally, and can be found on Facebook.
