Who is koregon? well, it's a combination of my name Kaye and Oregon...so now you know where the koregon came from...how about who we are? "koregon glass" is a husband and wife team of lampwork bead artist. Dan: my hubby, whom sells under Dan~O Lampwork Beads...and me "Kaye" who is: K~O Lampwork Beads...if you would like to see a bit of what we have done in the past there is link right below showing work of the past.(photo gallery of our previous work)
Dan and I each have a different flair with glass so you will see a wide variety of color and style.
K~O Lampwork & Dan~O Beads
About Us: Well, we are high school sweethearts who have been married 28 years as of July 2007...We live near Newport Oregon in the smaller town of Toledo six miles inland...on two acres with our many pets...Our dog Rose, puppy Daisy...and our four cats...Scadoobie,Bear,Pixie and Skittles.
We love where we live, the Oregon Coast, what better place to inspire...nature inspires us a lot...here is a bit of our inspiration from nature, right here near home...on a gorgeous summer evening or a foggy one...both equally as beautiful don't you think??
You will find us posting new auctions five days a week, Monday thru Friday.
You might notice that Kaye makes a lot of shapes and pressed style beads...I love the flatter beads with more area to be seen, and they are so comfortable to wear, sliding over your wrist or neck, so you will see many shapes alternated in my beadmaking along with tube style and round round style beads now and then, I am also the one that creates all the focals we sell. Dan makes encased twisty style beads in a wide range of color scheme's.
Please feel free to email me with any questions on inquiry's you might have. I check e~mail many times a day, and normally you will get a reply fairly quick.
BASIC INFO: We use Effetre-Moretti Glass, Vetrofond and sometimes Lauscha Glass. We also incorporate elements of fine silver, dichro and enamels and frits into our beads...which come in many shapes and sizes and styles. All our beads are Kiln Annealled in a digitally controlled Kiln for strength and durability...

Shipping and Payment Info
Yeah, the boring but important stuff...
If you bid and win our auctions, payment is due within seven days or the first win. We do combine shipping, just ask (I check email many times a day) and we will send you a combined invoice to save on shipping. Your first win will ship for $3.00 or $5.50 depending on how you want them mailed, that is the choice of first class or priority mail, insurance is optional and an extra charge depending on the packages worth. Just ask for a combined invoice. I do make one post office run a day and the time varies depending on my schedule, weather and so forth. So your beads usually will be mailed within 24 hours if paid for on a weekday. We do ship only within the USA, why? for insurance reasons and confirmed mailing address reasons. Our two forms of payment accepted are PayPal (only confirmed shipping address payments are accepted) and money orders, NO PERSONAL CHECKS, they will be returned.
You can find some photo's of my work in a couple publications...I have a bead in the new chapter of
