My name is Christiane Selimovic. I am a glass addict, I have been a glass addict since spring 2003, when I took a beginners lampwork class. I love the colors and I love the material I work with. Discovering a new type of glass to me is a temptation I can't resist.
I live in a charming old town in Northern Germany close to the North Sea, together with my husband, our 11 year old son and our little dog.
