We will be hosting more giveaways in the future so stay tuned... but now lets meet Holly!

















Here is what Holly has to say about herself:

I'm a lampwork glass bead maker and sometime jewelry designer. I've been at jewelry design since I was a teen... been teaching wire wrap since I was 17. I love designing jewelry that can have two different looks and coming up with ways to change a piece from simple to fancy is a great challenge. It was not being able to find beads that I could see in my own head that turned me into a bead maker. I've had a lifelong obsession with glass beads! 

This is one of Holly's favorites!

This is a pendant I made for an Art Bead Scene competition. I love to try and enter those as it's a great way to make myself finish a piece from start to finish in a month (including the bead!)!


Here is what Holly has to say about the Promotional Frenzy Team:

I love this team because it's SO active. I had been the leader of the Fire Divas and it's just hard to get people to participate. Here, I feel like a slacker! I like Thursdays cause it makes me list something new. And I've always loved blogging so Wednesdays because I love seeing what the teamies are up to!

Here are a few of the items you will find in her shop:
