Designs from 2007

Designs from 2007

As I look through my work from 2007 I wonder if I will ever have a certain "look" to my work. So many artists focus on one certain style and I guess I just have too much to learn and too much to keep trying to ever create a "style" that will be my own. Most of my customers like that they never know what to expect from me.. I guess that is what matters.. "what I like to do...and what my customers want..right?

Bead Sets from 2006

Bead Sets from 2006

2006 was a very inspiring year for me. It was really the first year that I felt comfortable being behind my torch and allowing my own self expression to come out. I am so thankful for the many jewelry designers that I have been fortunate enough to work with as well as the many glass artists that have encouraged me.
