I'm a published jewelry designer who has been making jewelry
for 4 years. You may have seen my work in Bead Trends, Bead Star, Bead Unique, Stringing, Bead Style, Easy Wire and
Creative Jewelry magazines. All of my pieces are individually designed and handcrafted by me. I enjoy designing unique
and one of a kind pieces. I rarely duplicate any of my designs. Upon request, I will do a piece similar to another one by
changing the color scheme or making other changes, but I like to offer pieces that are original & unique.
If you are interested in seeing more photos of a particular piece, please
contact me and I will send you more pics and information via email, as this website only allows one picture per item.
Thank you for visiting my shop and please don't hesitate to contact me about
special requests or custom orders, you will find the link at the bottom of the home page.

Dean Abner, Lampwork Artisan
Bubby and McGurk Beads
(formerly Island of Misfit Beads)


Dean Abner is a self taught lampwork bead artist.
He only recently began this craft and already has had his work requested at several local bead stores and by many jewelry
designers. He is in the process of designing his own website where you will be able to purchase and custom order his beads.
I'm pretty lucky because I happen to be married to him and so I get my beads at a discounted rate!
