Patty Lakinsmith's Lampwork Beads and Art Jewelry Welcome to my gallery! Molten glass provides a journey of a thousand possibilities. When the glass is heated, I have a window of opportunity to shape the destiny of an otherwise permanent form. Learning the various ways that I can coax the glass into doing interesting things enables me to create fascinating snapshots in time, incredible microcosms in a single bead. Influenced by the metals within, each color has its own behavioral characteristics, and gives me unique methods for expressing a design. I can even use the color “clear” or a simple element such as an air bubble as components in my work, to magnify the effect of other colors or to suggest the qualities of water.

Much of my work is inspired by nature where I find themes of symmetry, asymmetry, and pattern to suggest a number of variations in glass. I sell my work at local shows and online at www.pattylakinsmith.etsy.com. Website: www.playswithfiredesigns.com. Blog: www.pattylakinsmith.blogspot.com.
