The Pixybug Designs Story
Established April 1, 2007.
Our business began with a gift of a single pendant given to Stephanie for her birthday. Stephanie began beading with that single gift, and after their home began to look like a bead avalanche disaster site, Chris gave Stephanie an ultimatum…”Stop buying beads or start selling what you make”! Stephanie took him at his word and Pixybug Designs was born. In July of that year when a lampworking class opportunity presented itself, Stephanie issued an ultimatum of her own…”If I am going to do this, then so are you!”
Meet Chris
from Ooh to Eww
Chris began his journey in lampworking glass and his world changed forever! Chris began teaching himself to make marbles in 2009 and enjoys creating miniature sculptures, beads, buttons, small blown glass vessels, and cabochons. Chris has had his glass work published in The Flow Magazine and Soda Lime Times, and has written glass working tutorials published in Soda Lime Times.
