Beth Williams Studio Lobster Bead

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Beth Williams of Beth Williams Studio created this lobster bead after I read her tweet that she had just made a fish bead and I had suggested she make a lobster one.

The power of Twitter I tell ya!

So now I plan to head over to her studio and talk to her about the lobster bead.  Why?  Because I learned about it by casually following her on Twitter.   Funny how that works, huh?

Colored glass rods line the back wall of Beth Williams Studio.  These colored glass rods will be used to make the unique pieces that Beth produces.

I imagine that if you are not extremely well organized this place could turn ito an unmanageable mess in a hurry but Beth keeps everything in colorful order.

You walk into the place and it’s like a huge color orgy.
