Lark Books "Masters: Glass Beads"







The book “Masters: Glass Beads” has finally been released and I must admit that I am very pleased with how it came out. It is the loveliest book about contemporary glass beadmakers and their beads I have ever seen. It is delicious eye candy and an excellent publication for anyone who likes beads.

A great side benefit of the publication of this book is that all the beadmakers who are in the book were invited to be involved in a bead show in Kobe, Japan at the Lampworked Glass Museum located there.

I jumped at the opportunity to be in the show in Japan because they want some of my beads for their permanent collection and they are willing to sell my beads for me at the show. This is a win-win situation because I have been involved with this museum before and had a positive experience with them.

I have my new website up now at http://www.patriciafrantzstudios.com, that I totally developed myself by learning Dreamweaver and Photoshop software programs. The website will always be a work in progress as I develop new pages and add more in-depth information.
