Hi, there!

I'm Nichole Byers, an abstract artist, lampwork beadmaker, and jewelry designer. By day, I fight for truth and justice as a paralegal, but I spend my personal time creating art. My art is whimsical, cheerful, and uplifting, and it is an expression of my heart and mind.

My shop is a little bare right now, but please sign up for my mailing list so you are among the first to be notified of new art available for purchase (I promise that I won't spam you)!

Watch me work!

May 26, 2019 A Whole Lotta Whimsy
One of the things that I've really missed about making my handcrafted lampwork glass beads is the pure whimsy of it. It's no secret that I love brightly colored glass and pretty designs, so my "happy beads" are a pure delight to make. Memorial Day weekend is almost over, and as I sit here listening to a real estate podcast, I am simultaneously trying to plan the...
May 16, 2019 What a Busy Month!
The month of May, 2019 has been crazy-busy for us. And unlike some, I do NOT thrive on crazy-busy. Quiet and chill is more my style. We've had one child graduate from college, one graduating from high school, my husband has a week-long business conference in between, and all this means that we will be having a small gath...
