Just wanted to say how much I love your beads! I go to the Tucson gem show every year so I get to see lots of lampwork glass and yours is by far the most beautiful I've seen. You should consider doing the gem show some year...you'd make a killing! Thanks for the gorgeous beads! --- Ellen Preston

Mari, I have to say your focals on this site really caught my attention. They are beautiful and I am going to have to buy one when I get over the holiday spending on the kids! Wow, gorgeous! I am a teacher enjoying my break and surfing and learning about glass beads. Am I sensing a trend in wearable art that might be coming my way here in Texas? It is certainly a trend here to make your own jewelry and I am thinking this is next for Texas. :) Take care and happy New Year and again wow really beautiful art! --- Kim Hines

I just wanted you to know that I think your beads are exquisite. I am going to start saving my money now to purchase some for myself. I was just so awed by your talent, I wanted to send you some applause. --- Jazz Lowry

Everything I wear of yours gets raves!!! I can't wait to see these.

Mari, The two beadsets arrived and they are stunningly exquisite. I received them Monday, designed them Tuesday and they are in the mail today to a soon-to-be delighted customer. Your work is amazing. Thank you!! --- Sherry Simmons

Hi MJ,
I just received the beads I ordered from you, 'Starscape Focal bead and earring beads'...They are absolutely beautiful!!! I love the detail with the sparkled 'stars' on the top of the bead!!!

I'm an amateur astronomer and often look for various items that have an astronomy theme. When a friend of mine found these online (while at work), I said to myself 'I have to have these!'...

I'm very new to beading, and will now have these to use in my next project. Thank you so much! ---Rose T. DeMeis-Moore

I received the gorgeous galaxy focal and it is so much prettier than even the photo.  Thank you soooooo much.  The gift bead you sent is fabulous also.  Can't wait to get to work and make something wonderful.  I'll be back for more when I work through some of my inventory.  Keep up the beautiful work. --- Sherry Simmons :-)
