       Hi - I'm Lisa.  I am a self-taught artist who's been creating hand painted gifts for family and friends for the past seventeen years.  I have been a professional floral designer for 27 years and you may notice that my love for flowers overflows into my painting, one blossom at a time!
      My most recent love is hand crafting jewelry. In 2005, while taking my very first jewelry class, I thought the combination of the two  crafts may make a wonderful combination.  So, now I paint on vintage glass beads and Swarovski crystals, then incorporate them into my hand crafted designs. I also love to work with other forms of glass beads that are far too beautiful on their own to take a paint brush to.
     You'll find many one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry on this site because, I admittedly, grow weary of  creating too many duplicate designs!  If you see something you like, don't wait to jump on it, 'cause there just may not be another to be found ! I am forever on the hunt for beads that call out my name or unique beads to treat to a "hand painted makeover".  
        So, grab a cup of coffee, (or maybe you're a tea lover like me), sit back, and enjoy your visit.  Drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you and please stop back often, as new product will be added monthly.
                                                    
                                                                Creatively Yours,
                                                                        Lisa Halas
