Ever wonder how something like these are made? To me it seems like magick. It's wonderful and amazing and makes my heart race at the beauty of it.
I like to believe people who can make this kind of magick must be blessed by the Gods and deserve our utmost adoration!
With that said I'd like to introduce you to
Jolene Wolfe of Kitzbitz Art Glass.
Jo's one of those people you're just happy to see pop into a chat or post on the forums! She's always cheery and has a great sense of humor.She's an active member on the Handmade Artist Forum and also on
Frit Happens! , a U.K. based forum for lampwork artists!
In addition to making beautiful glass beads and jewelry, she also teaches lampworking in her home studio in Middlesex (U.K.)
(Oh how I wish I were closer!)

Those of us who can't make the trip can still get our fix of her prettys by visiting her Etsy shop.
And if you happen to be a Lampwork Artist or have the means to journey into
the world of Fire and Glass,
Jo offers mojo boxes, collections of the different kinds of glass she uses to create her jewels
She also has a shop on CafePress where you can get her Frit designs on Coffe mugs and postcards!
I personally think that's ingenious! And the Cool Frit Coffee mug is talkin to me!
For the Facebook Fanatics, she updates her Fans here and you can follow her on Twitter!
Be Sure to follow her Blog, in addition to showing off her pretties and sharing articles about interesting artists she offers tutorials for the novice lampworker and share the results of her experiments with glass!
It's fascinating!
