Etsy Featured Artist - catlady99

Judy Richards resides in Portland, Oregon, has 2 cats (hence the name), and does some beautiful lampwork. She says she "is inspired by nature (flowers, birds) depicted in glass. She loves abstract lampwork most of all with layers of glass and complexity. She is always striving to that goal." I think she's reached that goal, and more!

"GORGEOUS BEAD WOVEN NECKLACE WITH CAB - BRONZE BEADS" is a hand-beaded necklace with an ocean jasper cabochon surrounded with seed beads woven around its edge. This piece is on clearance, along with another piece using beadweaving techniques. (I think Judy is having so much fun with her lampwork, that she is taking a hiatus from beadweaving. That's just my guess, though, nothing she has confessed to in her shop or blog that I could find. ;))
"Beautiful lampwork bracelet with pmc" is made with these beautiful lampwork beads in turquiose and brown, with precious metal clay (pmc) on the focal bead. I love this one! "Lampwork horse pendant" is so pretty!

Check out the many, many lampwork beads and jewelry Judy has made! You're sure to find something in your style, as she makes a wide variety of beads.
