A contest, sort of! LOL Wanna Play?

OK supposedly my mortgage is going thru the end of this month, and most will
go towards home repairs/upgrades so I can sell my house.

BUT I've decided since I'm the one who's going to pay the $$ back, I want to
splurge some on ME!!!

I've always wanted to buy some really lovely, kool, awesome lampwork, but
the really good stuff is always out of sight pricewise.

Now I'm going for at least 1 set that really sings...

So here's the "contest" part:

Which lampwork artist would YOU buy if money was no object, and why? Be sure
to include links to the auctions/sites you like the best.

This ought to generate some great eye candy, if nothing else, and help
narrow down the field somewhat. Of course, you don't actually win
anything... but my undying love and respect!

Wanna play?

You know, what I am going to say is going to sound real weird (coming
from me) but I don't buy lampwork any more. I'm completely into
stones these days. Always was, but I used to do lots and lots of
lampwork.

And, I only have one person on my "must have" list:

http://www.patiwalton.com/pages/ebaygallery.php


In addition to that statement, there is only one lampwork bead I have
kept for myself and I still pull it out and wonder over it. Just did
it the other day. It is in the top tray of my stacked trays, which
hold crystals, silver and right now, one tray of pendants as I am
doing special orders for Christmas. And that bead is one I bought for
my birthday several years ago from Madcatbeads. I paid $75 for it and
would not trade it for the world. It is a naked woman in a garden,
with the female form wrapped around a large pear shaped tab bead, and
matted. I love matte beads. I went to her website -- similar to her
"nature" beads on this site. It says she is not taking orders right
now for health reasons, but check back. The wait is worth it.

Much love, my .05 -- Becki Bean

Love ya back! And thanks...

Well I'm not quite through the list, but I found another awesome flameworker
thru Lori Greenberg's site - definitely on my drool list!

I'm not really sure how you'd design with this shape bead though.
