i was recently asked to create a meditation pendulum and was intrigued by the idea. i created this first pendulum and am so excited by the possibilities and the meaning that can be created for each person, that i've decided to offer them as a regular catalog item on my website.
enjoy this special preview and look for more designs in the future!

i'm really getting into making functional pieces of art using some of the great findings out there. wine bottle stoppers, canape sets, letter and bottle openers...all of that and more. i'd like to share these pieces with you!

i have been totally captivated by the 'shard' movement in lampwork.
i particularly admire the work of amber van meter in regards to shard work, and was motivated to try this myself...so i began by perfecting my own 'blowing' technique to get the shards...then made some beads.
hope you enjoy this gallery featuring my new obsession.

i've been striving for months to come up with a design that was inspired but did not closely mimic ancient dzi beads.
i was intrigued by the lines and dots, the various patterns with so much meaning, and had to try something for myself.
this strand of beads was made with a base of black, encased with dark ivory, then deeply engraved to let the base color come through.
the process was a true labor of love and i am so excited by the result!

this series of beads features my exploration of the abstract in the form of a tree.
as a base bead, i like to use either a nicely rounded tapered bicone or a flat tabular bead...
