Jewelry is my newest passion.  For several years, I’ve dabbled in beading, bracelets and necklaces. Now it’s all about making my own glass beads.  This is a technique known as lampworking.  This has offered me the opportunity to not only make some beautiful beads, but also make some truly fabulous jewelry. I can now accessorize at will!

If you’ve ever talked to someone who is making their own glass beads, you’ll probably have heard them say “it’s addictive” .. and it is!

I spend several hours a week at my torch making beads and upgrading my skills and am constantly updating my glass inventory to include all the newest colors.  I find myself more acutely aware of the numerous colors around me and try to collect or mix glass colors to make beads in the colors I’ve seen.  I work with all types of glass but primarily soft glass as the color range is so much larger.  I also incorporate various metals when making my jewelry from plastic to sterling silver.

Throughout the jewelry section of my site you’ll find my beaded jewelry as well as chainmail.
