Passion

Nearly a year ago I lost someone that was pretty much my whole life. During this year it's been very difficult to find the passion inside me to make the more intricate pieces. I'm slowly coming out of the fog and experiencing new passions, hence all the work with meaning behind their names.

These are two of the new sets "Beauty Within" and "Desir Cache" - french for Hidden Passion. They are ready for a new home and are listed here.

Back at the Torch

I'm finally getting back in the groove of things and making time to melt glass. You would think that winter would be the perfect time to sit behind the torch and it is for some, but for me I'm the happiest in the summer and so the most inspired, ready to bust a move. As for now, I'm dreaming of my veggie and flower filled garden, plottin' and plannin' what will be to come!

So back to the beads......these two new sets, "Changing Tides" and "Rum Raisin" are now available in my etsy shop. Take a look here.

Busy Summer

First, I've just got to share my big news....I'm the newest vendor in the Appalachian Home Catalog!!! My handmade lampwork glass jewelry has been picked up for their coming Christmas catalog and I'm sooo excited! I've been working like the dickens to get the first order finished and sent off (hopefully the first of many) and between getting those goodies ready I've gotten a new shop in Salem VA to sell my jewels.

Here is a sneak peek at one of the items that will be in the catalog....of course in their unfinished stage.

And here is some new earrings that I've made for the coming fall season. Check them out on my website.
