Hello, I'm Karen Allen.  Artful Touches is my lampwork glass studio and online shop.  Here you can purchase handmade, unique lampwork jewelry and beads.

I also sell my jewelry and beads at local galleries, art shows, and occasionally at home jewelry shows.  I am always eager to do custom orders.  You tell me the colors and types of beads you like and I will make a set to your specifications.

My beads are made from Italian Glass:  Effetre and Vetrofond and German Glass : Lauscha.  All beads have been properly annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for lasting durability.  Although these beads look delicate, they are VERY strong!

I am confident that you will LOVE my jewelry and beads. 
If you aren't completely satisfied with your purchase, please return it for a full refund within 7 days.
