Italy is a gorgeous country and the history of lampwork comes out in every corner. When I think of bead making I think of Italy.
Family traveled to the mountainous area of the Italian Riviera north of San Remo and brought back these photos. The photos were taken in the Artist Village of Bussana.
When I visit bead artists here in the United States I often see the Studio Cat. Cats seem to bring a quiet atmosphere to the room.
This Studio Cat has very good taste. What a concept...sleeping among the jewels.
