My passion is glass............. I make handcrafted fused and stained glass gifts by either fusing glass together or by using the copper foil method. I use glass kilns to take glass to high temperatures, and then to cool fast to anneal glass to make it strong. Then I use a wet belt sander and a glass saw  to smooth and shape the glass to form the designs I use in my jewelry. Once I am happy with the shape, I use a special adhesive to bond the glass to a sterling silver finding. With these tools I can make a large variety of fused glass jewelry and gifts.

My  passion started a few years ago making stained glass window panels and sun catchers by way of the copper foil technique.  But it was not until I bought my first  glass kiln and and started fusing that I discovered the wonderful world of Dichroic glass. The possibilities of using Dichroic glass to make jewelry  and sun catchers is endless. The way the dichroic glass color shifts and sparkles before your eyes it seem almost magical. For me  designing and creating jewelry with Dichroic glass is magic.

Each piece of  glass jewelry  and gifts I make is unique and breathtaking.....................

I believe that life was meant to be celebrated with color and magic each day........

For me creating colorful glass jewelry  and gifts is a way for me to celebrate life...I love it........
