Rings: A Great Accessory







What a better way to show off your new outfit or even your freshly manicured hands by wearing a ring. My rings come in all different colors with an adjustable ring base to fit any size finger. Like a little shimmer get one with dichroic glass, which is a coating that gives glass that extra sparkle. I make them in many different shapes, sizes and designs.

Faces: I like’em a lot


I don’t know why but Faces really interest me. Maybe its because there are so many features in a face and how much character each part adds. You can tell so much by looking at someone’s face. I also do a little watercolor and find my self always painting faces and trying to catch that glimmer of whatever emotion I am trying to convey. Since my passion is for glass, of course I have to figure out a way to incorporate faces. So I made my first face pendant. Although this face pendant might look more like a mask I still think it emits a personality. One of these days I hope to do more sculptural pieces in glass but for now I will continue to strive to capture that glimmer in everything I make.
