I'm Sylvie Elise Lansdowne, a glass beadmaker and jewelry designer in Atlanta, GA. I'm also the wife of Rob and the mother of Harrison who is almost 2 and already loves beads!
My work in glass and jewelry is a story of colors. I have always been inspired by the use of color in the work of the Impressionists and Post Impressionists. I think of my jewelry as mini-paintings and my beads as the paints. I love manipulating the glass I work with in ways that give me new colors for my palette. My beadmaking style has been influenced greatly by the work of Kristina Logan and by Kim Osibin and Leah Fairbanks (from whom I learned glass beadmaking).
Where can you buy my work? My beads are sold wholesale to bead stores and designers nationwide. (See below for a link to my other homepage featuring a catalog.) My jewelry is sold in Atlanta at the following stores: Veronica's Attic (Sandy Springs), Dakotah J's (Virginia Highlands) and Ivy Manor (Roswell). Hopefully coming soon to a store near you!
