Spotlight on Saorsa Studios

Connie Cooper of Plantersville, Texas, has played with beads off and on for her entire life. She moved through micro-macrame into lampworking. Connie says she's "done a lot of things in my life and this is something I really enjoy. I’ve found that trying to “make a living” doing a job I hate doesn’t make for living at all, so I’ve created a life for myself based on bringing the beauty of [the] Universe to you in my little glass and fiber creations." Take a peek:

This fantastic piece is on Connie's blog, on the "micro-macrame" page.

This steampunk-inspired lampwork bead is available on Connie's Etsy shop.
Here Connie combines her lampwork with natural stones and an African porcupine quill. I'm happy NOT to meet that porcupine!
