My glass beads are made in my kitchen, looking out at my gardens for inspiration, using a hothead torch with Italian Effetre and Moretti glasses. They are formed and shaped primarily with gravity and the aid of paddles with an occasional use of presses. I also do miniature blown glass pieces. All pieces are slowly annealed and cooled in my kiln for a minimum of 12 hours. Carefully cleaned and ready for your enjoyment. I make individual beads and jewelry sets. I also offer sets of beads for use in jewelry of your own creation. I am a member of SRA, Self Representing Artists, a group of glass artists who are dedicated to the art of lampworking, an ancient art form that flourished in Italy in the 1300s and then spread throughout Europe, the Americas and the rest of the world.

Items shown on these pages can be purchased. This is done by linking the items to either my ETSY or my eBay selling account. This is a safe and reliable way for you to purchase items using your bank account or credit card, via PayPal. And I will always accept a cashiers check or money order for orders within the U.S.A. Also the modest shipping costs will be shown on eBay, with optional choices for insurance or expedited mailing. Currently, I am charging a flat rate of $2.00 for shipping within the U.S.A, no matter the number of beads purchased at a time. International shipping is based on weight.

At times, items are up for auction, instead of fixed price, on eBay. So the most current price of an item for sale will be that shown on eBay.
