I am a Self-Representing Artist, #G28, who handmakes all my beads in my home studio in beautiful Northern Arizona. They have been made on 1/16ths mandrels. All my beads have been properly annealed in my AIM kiln. If for some reason you are unhappy with my beads, please contact me so we can make arrangements for a refund. You can find more information from and about me at my blog:
