			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While browsing for beads, as I so often do, I came across these absolutely stunning handmade lampwork beads from <a href="http://www.z-beads.com">Z-Beads</a>, owned by Sarah Moran.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve seen many a lampwork bead, but these are without a doubt the most unique and colourful I&#8217;ve come across in a long time.</p>
<p>I especially love the <a href="http://www.z-beads.com/aboutme.html">story</a> of how Sarah came to be such an amazing lampwork artist. It is inspiring <em>and</em> amusing. And of course you can&#8217;t help but love the quirky names she gives to each piece.</p>
<div id="attachment_37" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://balancedcrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/z-beads-panaroma.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-37" title="z-beads-panaroma" src="http://balancedcrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/z-beads-panaroma.jpg" alt="From left to right: True Turquoise BullsEye Fizz Tabs,  Tea Stained Sampler,  Radioactive Topaz Mutation,  Magic Teal and Salmon" width="500" height="125" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">From left to right: True Turquoise BullsEye Fizz Tabs,  Tea Stained Sampler,  Radioactive Topaz Mutation,  Magic Teal and Salmon</p></div>
<p>Stunning, right? I am simply in love with her designs and use of colours.</p>
<p>She works with soda-lime glass and borosilicate (Also known as &#8220;Pyrex&#8221;) and makes each piece by hand. She is truly gifted! Every bead is made one at a time, so no two are exactly alike. They are available for purchase through Ebay, &#8220;Superstars&#8221; and she also offers a <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.z-beads.com/customorders1.html" target="_blank">Made To Order</a> service from her website gallery.</p>
<p>Take a look around <a href="http://www.z-beads.com/">her site</a>, you won&#8217;t be sorry!</p>
