This was a wonderful post to read. I love knowing the process of making these beads that I have become obsessed with. I am hoping to visit Murano next year to see it all in person!

I absolutely love your beads - wish I had unlimited buying power lol. I enjoy reading these articles. It's true that, in looking at the finished product, many don't know how much it can take to make these.

Thank you for this really informative post. It is lovely to read about how the beads are made and to see the beautiful sample cards. I envy you getting to visit the area and the workshops. It is really fantastic that this amazing craft and skill is ongoing in Venice. It is great to have a supplier of these beads and to know that the person involved is so passionate about their work and has an obvious love for the glass, the workers and the skill and craft.

Thank all of you for your comments. For those of you who are thinking of going to Italy/Venice. Stay tuned, if we are ok to travel to such wonderful places in the world next year, Fernando DaSilva and Wyatt White are planning another beading trip and this time they are focusing on the Veneto (the area around Venice). Trust me, you will get a much more intimate experience with them (and I will set up the Murano part) than on your own or a tour. We had a fabulous time last year though they got only one day in Venice/Murano. And at a certain point we were all waiting in a bar for the ladies to finish shopping...but we had our drinks to keep us company. You can find them on their instagram account @thetwofab

In creating my earrings I was show casing animals - but wanted to add something special I incorporated Swarovski and Millefiori beads and searching for true beads I found your site....... I couldn’t control my excitement- these little works of art are extraordinary. I did travel to Italy with my family many years ago and had the opportunity to see the glass blowers- can’t wait to return. Thankyou for the artists and you! Kendra Hope you acquire more 4 and 6 mm beads ?? Kendra when I am in Venice I will check to see if anyone has any of these left.
