This weeks Ajdjss featured studio is "LaJewelryDesigns" aka Lea.LaJewelryDesigns is a studio that is filled with a variety of lovely lampwork beads in different shapes, sizes, and colors.
What is really fabulous is that Lea makes each and every bead by herself. She does this in her own studio in NY.
Lea takes great pride in the quality of her beads. To ensure the strength and longevity of each of her beads she immediately has them annealed in a digitally controlled kiln in her studio. Annealing is quite an important procedure when making lampwork beads because it ensures that the beads will not shatter.

Your beads are beautiful! There were quite a few that really caught my eye. Funny enough I already had you bookmarked even before this feature so you caught it more than once.
Keep up the great work!
Lea's beads are gorgeous and layered which makes them very interesting to look at. Lovely write up.
