Mallory, from rosebud101 on Etsy and rosebud101 on ArtFire, is this week's featured Fire Diva. She makes the most wonderful disc beads, but she also creates amazing focal pieces, sculptural beads and finished jewelry. She's even making her own findings and is stocked with some lampwork supplies in her ArtFire shop. So let's get to know Mallory . . .

My bible and prayer book. Favorite fruit: blueberries Last book you read: Mistaken Identity Ever eat Playdoh? Yes.
