Black Friday Debut
Come see the amazing talents of Summer O’Brien. She is a local lampwork artist and beekeeper. Her design inspirations are taken directly from nature, and can be seen in some many of her pieces. Summer not only appreciates nature, she is an active participant, running an apiary (a fancy word for a beekeeper) of 5 hives. She loves talking about her hives almost as much as she likes to talk about how she does her glasswork and silversmithing. Her creations will be debuted this Friday along with sales, make & takes, and pop up shops going all weekend long!
THIS BLACK FRIDAY!

BOROSILICATE GLASS TRUNK SHOW BY
UNICORNE BEADS
Unicorne Beads are individually handcrafted in the USA by a network of highly skilled glassblowers. These beads are fashioned in a torch flame by a process called “lampworking”. Unlike most beads, which are made from ordinary or “soft” glass, Unicorne Beads are created from “hard” or borosilicate glass. Only the finest imported glass from Europe and the United States is used. Many of the colored glass is custom mixed. Borosilicate glass is worked at much higher temperatures than ordinary glass and then kiln annealed at over 1000 degrees which makes for a stronger more durable product. The higher temperatures are also responsible for the rich natural colors characteristic of Unicorne borosilicate glass beads.
See the fantastic array of colors and shapes for a limited time at Star’s Beads thru October 27th!
I feel better now! 🤣
Check out our bead pick of the week! Designed by lampwork artist Tennessa McLean, @abeadedgift.
💫
These beads are not your typical lampwork look. These are rich with design, enhanced with subtle colors, and perfectly blended with natural earth tones. Be sure to come see our massive collection at the shop for another week!
💫
Interested in learning more about the artist? Check out the FB Live where we go BTS with Tennessa. She shows us her studio and gives us a LIVE demo of making a bead! https://www.facebook.com/StarsBeads/videos/2395575914094281/
