I love it when my worlds collide. If you know me you know that I love to go thrift shopping. I recently scored this coin collector's display box, and I've repurposed it to accommodate my wire shank glass buttons. I'll be bringing it with me (full) to Las Vegas.

Please join me in the Bead Life Group tomorrow and Weds for my first 2 day show of the year. I'll have tons of new work to share with you, and most of it will be electroformed in copper - SO many new ideas flowing this year.

From the wayback machine. I made this pendant some years ago and had it tucked away, and recently rediscovered it. It still makes my heart skip a beat. Large ornate lampwork bicone with twisted reactive cane, twisted again, hand forged fine silver bail, Hill Tribe silver, and pearls and semi-precious stones. Yes, I really did dome a dime to make the bead cap. Available- DM for details.

Hey glass fans, it's time for another online show! I'll be showing my lampwork glass jewelry components *plus* some brand new "decor" items. That's glass art that you can use to beautify your home and bring your heart a little happy blip. Here's one of the pieces I'll have in the show, along with several others in a similar style.

The show is in the Bead Life group here on Facebook. Link in comments. If you're not already a member, just get to the group page and click the "JOIN" button, and answer the questions. Tell them I sent you. :-)

My heart is full after a wonderful weekend showing my latest work at the ACGA’s annual Clay and Glass Festival. This organization is one of the most well run non-profits I’ve ever been a part of, and I’m grateful for everyone’s hard work to put this show on each summer. I smile when remembering every conversation I had with so many of my booth visitors, and it makes me so grateful to have been part of their stories. I helped a shopper find the most perfect earrings for her friend’s themed wedding, helped a young man find a gift for his girlfriend back home, and I got to talk shop with so many who expressed interest in trying out hot glass art forms. So many more stories I’ll leave for another time. Thank you to the ACGA, and also to the people who enjoy attending this event great after year and supporting the Clay and glass arts. ❤️❤️❤️

What color is your garden? These are hearty enough for even the worst of gardeners, who love flowers so much but can’t keep anything alive.
