No, it´s certainly not a pic while I am making beads but at least you can see who I am.

I´ve started bead making in summer 2004 when I found that there are classes at Glasdesign Volkmann here in Hamburg where I live. At the end of the same year I bought the equipment and kept making beads ever since.

Working with glass is so amazing. Melting glass, the interaction of colours, the forming process, the "painting" - the result. Each bead seems to be more beautiful than the other. It´s all about creativity and fantasy.
