  Beautiful Lampwork Beads

 Created by:

Judy Askins creates lovely portrait lampwork beads, and I just love the style of her work!  I love all the detail she adds to each one!  I'm so happy to feature her beautiful lampwork beads here today!

Owning a craft and bead store for nineteen years allowed Judy to play with everything that came along. She designed craft projects, and had a soft craft pattern business; Cozy Cat Crafts.  She has worked in just about every art medium out there, but after closing her shop, she was looking for something she really wanted to do for fun. Judy had taken a lampworking class several years ago, but lampworking required a commitment that she couldn't make at the time.  These last few years she have taken classes from Kim Osibin, Toni Lutman, Jim Smircitch, Kerri Fuhr, Trey Cornette, Sherry Bellamy, and Leah Fairbanks Each one inspiring Judy to create her own style and giving her the training to do it.
