Q: Why do you have a $15 minimum order?
A: I am happy to offer free shipping on domestic orders, I just request that your order total over $15.

Q: Do you accept checks or money orders?

Q: Do you sell on ebay?

Q: Does anyone help you make the beads?
A: No... I make every lampwork bead you see on this site. Glass is my passion and I simply love making beads!

Q: Why do Boro beads cost more?
A: Boro beads are made from Borosilicate glass which is considered a "hard glass" and is much stiffer to work with. As a result more heat, oxygen, and time is needed to make these beautiful beads.

Q: Do you offer wholesale discounts?
A: No I do not. I am a one person operation and since each bead you receive is handmade by little ol' me there is no way I can ramp up production to accomodate larger orders.

Q: When do you add new bead sets?
A: I add new beads every Tuesday. If you want a little reminder just sign up for my newsletter and I'll email you when new beads are fresh outa the kiln!

Q: Do you take Special Orders?
A: Yes. Please read my Special Orders FAQ for more information.

Q: Why do they call you Duda?
A: I affectionately refer to my spouse as "Dude" and therefore we decided that made me Duda.
