Every bead I make starts with a spark—an idea, a feeling, a moment that needs capturing in colour and flame. There’s a Story Behind Every Bead is a peek behind the scenes, where I share what inspired a piece, how it came to life, and the little details that make it meaningful.
Some stories begin in the garden. Others on a trip, at the torch, or during a conversation that left a mark. But every single one carries heart, colour, and intention.
Whether you're a fellow maker, a collector, or someone who just loves the soul of handmade, I hope these stories help you feel more connected to the art—and maybe even see a little of your own story reflected in the glass.
