I'm a relative newcomer to lampworking, I started in April of 2005. I live in the lovely northwest, in Eugene Oregon. I have been selling my beads on Ebay since June of 2006 and am currently seeking other venues. Like many beadmaker's I came from beaded jewelry. I will post here some of my favorite designs in both jewelry and my own beads. Thanks for stopping by.

At some point in your lampwork career, you've gotta try some goddesses. I've been trying to move away from the "T&A" model, but she keeps coming back.
This gallery really shows you all the interesting things you can put a goddess bead on.

Every once in a while I get an urge to do precision dot work. I think it finds its way into the rest of my work.

I've been playing with patterns of 3-4 colors over a series of several beads for quite a while now. As my skills have improved, the beads have become more complex. This series has been one of my most popular on ebay, and the most challenging for me to make.

One day these beads started finding their way out of my kiln. Definately a new direction for me, I wonder where it will lead.

These beads are made with the careful application of thin rods of glass. Each color is melted and then pulled into a thin rod called a stringer. The stringer is then applied to the bead with careful heating to ensure even and lasting application.

Some of these pieces feature some very early lampwork of mine, 6 months or less of torch time. But I'm still very proud of the colors and composition.

Some of these pieces are recent, and some are old, but well loved. I find that while my technique improves over time, I had some of the best ideas in the beginning when I didn't have any idea how to make them happen.

Okay, technically some of these don't actually involve beads, but they involve all the things we love - silver, glass, wire - and they are jewelry. ;)

I love the feel of wire in my hands and the intricate, endless patterns that I can create by twisting wire.

I've been having a lot of fun with this combo, so I'm hoping there will be many more to this series.
