    Description

    ABOUT THIS BEAD:
    "LADY OF THE LILIES"
    This whimsical focal bead measures 38
    mm tall x 30mm wide x 8mm thick and was created
    using a mix of moretti
    (
    effetre)
    glass
    and enamels (
    powdered and/or painted) .
    ***
    All beads created on a 3/32" mandrel with hole running top to bottom unless otherwise stated.
    I try very diligently to capture the details (and colors) of my work properly via photograph....monitors do vary, of course, but I am happy to report that I'm told quite often that my beads look better in person.
    -------------------------------~ ABOUT THE PROCESS IN GENERAL ~-------------------------------------
    All the beads that I list are created by me, Kathleen O'Connor, in my studio in the beautiful state of Michigan (kind of a stretch in the winter, but beautiful anyway, lol).
    I use a variety of soft glasses, frits, enamels, and other fun glassy touches to make each bead one of a kind.
    Once a bead leaves the flame, it is
    annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for the appropriate amount of time to ensure stress relief and
    durability
    .   I then have a canvas to add my enameled designs to, and after each new layer has been added, the bead goes back into the kiln to fuse the enamel securely (and then annealed again).
    I DO NOT USE DECALS.
    Each and every design is one-of-a-kind w
    ith an emphasis on humor.....one thing the world can never have enough of.
    I care very much about my work.  I
    clean and inspect each bead carefully before packing and shipping with care.  I am happy to report that while my home is smoke free....it is NOT pet free.
    Thank goodness !
    --------------------------------------~ BIDDING/PAYMENT POLICY ~----------------------------------------
    I expect payment within 3 days of auction end or beads may be relisted.  Please contact me if this is going to be a problem and I will work with you to arrange a solution. As stated in my shipping policy--I am very happy to combine packages from 2 auctions (please send me a note so I know ahead of time though and wait to pay).
    -------------------------------------------~ SHIPPING POLICY ~----------------------------------------------
    I offer combined shipping for auctions won within 8 days of each other, but if you plan on doing this---send me a note BEFORE paying.  Once an item is paid for, it's on eBay's clock and I'll have to ship it out.
    For large orders (3 beads or more or those totaling over 0) domestically shipped , I quite often remove the shipping charges as a gesture of appreciation.
    Any additional fees or customs charges are the responsibility of the buyer. Things are swiftly changing with shipping, so if there are any questions about cost---please contact me before the transaction is complete :)
    ANY EXTRA QUESTIONS?
    SEND A MESSAGE !
    I am happy
    to provide
    any extra
    information, pictures, or anything else anyone may need.
    And lastly, I care a great deal about customer service
    and I stand by my work 100%. You can be sure of that when you
    bid on one of my auctions.
    Thank you for taking the time to read this and...
    HAPPY BIDDING!
