| About Us |
Hi there, we are Karl & Krista Tseu! After spending most of my life in the bead capital of the United States (Seattle, Washington) I now live in Virginia Beach, Virginia with my wonderful husband Karl (who, by the way, designed this great site for me!) and 3 beautiful daughters ~~ Katie, Kelli and Karsyn. We also have an Aussy Cattle Dog and 2 cats that make it their mission to drive us insane on a continual basis! I have dabbled in creating jewelry and lampwork since I was in my early 20's but it has just been the last few years that I have become really "serious" about them. When I say serious, I mean consuming every free moment of my time! Yes, like many out there, I am a beadaholic and after years of buying the little jewels for myself I needed to start selling my designs to support my habit!
Along with the jewelry design side of our business, Karl and I are both steadily at the torch creating gorgeous lampwork bead designs that we offer here on our website and Ebay. Using both hard glass (Borosilicate) and soft glass (Effetre) I often use our own lampwork in my jewelry designs, creating them specifically for the jewelry design that I have in mind at the time. |
We have been asked many times about the name of the website... Here it goes (the Cliff Notes version)... Long ago, my husband started calling our daughter, Kelli, a "little fish" as a nickname. Then, the name extended to our other two daughters, then the girls started calling my husband and I the Mommy and Daddy "fish" and a family of "fish" was born!
The
name stuck... When I was trying to think of a name
for our business, "5 Fish" just seemed to fit!
Calling it "Tseu Glass Art & Designs" just
seemed to "easy" for me, I have to make things
difficult whenever given the opportunity! LOL! |
