The Patti/Patti Connection
February 7, 2008
My friend Patti Whiteley, who is a fused glass beadmaker and jewelry designer (you can see her work in the book 1000 Glass Beads) has been using a lot of the Patti Cahill’s lampworked beads in her designs.
Patti Cahill’s company, Dyed in the Fire Designs, produces the most wonderful beads. I have been admiring Patti Cahill’s beads since I first met her many years ago at an Intergalactic Bead Show. I can always recognize a Patti Cahill bead - she has the most amazing color sense. I own a few of her beads - in fact, I have some “brewing” until everything falls together…the beads I own are a soft minty green with fuschia and periwinkle. Delicious.
Patti Whiteley recently sent me a picture of some earrings designed with Patti Cahill’s beads. Take a look! (You can click on the image to enlarge it.)

Hi, Suzanne,
Thanks for the great comments about my work! I am constantly inspired by colors in lampwork beads.
I’m not sure if you have mentioned that in addition to this blog and selling on Ebay, that you also have a retail store. Would you list your hours? I need to come by to buy some supplies for a class I’m teaching next week.
Thanks,
Patti
