Bonnie Beard, Etsy Dallas Artist Extraordinaire

At a recent Etsy Dallas members function, I was lucky enough to win a beautiful fused glass pendant necklace and earrings in a silent auction. It was donated by the talented artist behind Bonny Beads, Bonnie Beard. A lovely mauve color with a flower design, the set brings compliments every time I wear it!

As a jewelry designer myself, I don't always consider myself an "artist" in the truest sense. But Bonnie truly is. I know next to nothing about glass artistry, but I know that her work is amazing. Check these items out, now for sale in her Etsy shop.

She also has an outside website, with more information on her artistic history and artwork.
