Maybeads: Friday is on FIRE

New blog, new feature. Every Friday I hope to feature a different Fire Diva. The Fire Divas are a group of lampwork bead artisans that promote the use of artisan-made glass beads. The Fire Divas believe that by promoting one another's work, we all benefit. So here I go . . .

First up is Eileen, from DorsetHillBeads on Etsy. From gorgeous bead sets to scary skulls, and now a line of lampwork jewelry, including earrings, rings and her adorable Littles pendants, Eileen's shop has something to offer everyone. Eileen was even game to answer some totally random questions so you could get to know her better.
