Almost any day of the week you can find me at my torch blowing glass ornaments or making glass beads. I start making ornaments in September and stop by Christmas, so every year it is new and fresh to me. When I work I love using non-traditional colors and, because there are endless combinations and outcomes, the process always keeps my interest. After 15 years I still find that there is so much to learn and to improve onI still feel like I am just beginning.

I am the owner of Glass Garden beads, a retail and online store with a wholesale division for beads and jewelry supplies. In addition to Glass Garden, I have the Trinket Foundry where we make beads and charms from bottle caps and found glass pieces. Please visit www.glassgardenbeads.com for more information.
