From my heart to the Flame - Beads with Soul!


Updated April 28, 2013
 
Hello and welcome to Divine Spark Designs!
My name is Jenny Friske-Baer and I create one-of-a-kind handmade lampwork beads and glass. I also make fun hand stamped word charms and etched copper charms! I work with Borosilicate glass (a.k.a. hard glass) - my first love - and also with premium Italian glass such as Effetre and Vetrofond, Creation is Messy (CIM) glass, Double Helix, Gaffer glass and Bullseye (all of these are also known as soft glass). Some other things you might want to know:
  • All of my lampwork beads and glass creations are always properly annealed in a digitally controlled kiln and the bead holes thoroughly cleaned.
  • I accept credit cards (Mastercard/Visa, Discover) through my secure shopping cart and also through PayPal. I will also accept checks(I do expect payments to be made within 2 weeks) - your order will ship once your check has been deposited and cleared (can take up to 10 days).
  • For shipping I offer Priority Mail ($5.15) and First Class ($2.50) - both include Delivery Confirmation. I will ship internationally using First Class Package International for $8.90 ($6.90 to Canada).
And most importantly - I try to add new beads every week to either my website or my Etsy store!
 

  

Apri 28:  The website is updated but please note that most of my new beads/work are over in my Etsy store!
Thanks for stopping by,
Jenny
 
April 8:  I'm off to California for my show at Kandra's Beads so if you place an order from my website just know that the item might not be available since I take everything with me.  I will check emails daily so if you do order and I still have the item(s) I will happily put them aside for you and ship when I return on the 16th.  I hope to see some of you there in Solvang!
Have a great week!
Jenny
 
March 15:  Trunk Show on Saturday, March 16, at Mani Om Beads in Tucson!  If you place an order on Saturday from my website some of the items might already be sold as I take my entire inventory with me to the show.  I will try and have the update for outs done by Sunday evening.  Thanks for understanding!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to see you at The Best Bead Show!

March 29:  I'm back from a fabulous Trunk Show with Kandra and have just finished updating the website with the outs.  Now I get to add new goodies - yay!  I'll be working on that these next few days so do check back!
Jenny
 
March 18: 
I have my Trunk Show at Kandra's Beads in Solvang, California coming up this week - yay!!  I hope you will stop by if you are in the area!  I take my entire inventory with me and this year I am actually shipping some of my beads out ahead of time to help lighten my load for the airplane carry-on.  What that means is that if you order any items from these categories - Soft Glass Sprees and Boro Focals on Monday through Thursday I won't be able to ship them until I return on Tuesday the 27th. 
 
The Trunk Show is Friday - Sunday and during that time, if you order anything I cannot guarantee that it will be available.  But if it is I will be happy to put it aside for you to ship when I return! 
 
I hope all that makes sense!  If not feel free to give me a call on my cell if you have any questions:  520-468-8146. 
 
I will update the website with outs when I return.  Thanks so much and have a great week!
 
Blessings,
Jenny
 
 
February 28:  New beads today!  I will be adding Boro Bar beads, Soft Glass Focals, Big Hole Beads and who knows what else, lol. Everything is up!
