About Me:
I am a fiber artist that started playing with polymer clay, moved to fused glass and am not learning to do lampwork beads. I love all of different crafts, finding time is the problem. I work full-time outside the home but will retire in June when I plan to really get serous about working with glass.

Enjoy the Journey

It's ease of use, the variety of what is there.

Today I've been playing with glass. I just got a new glass torch and oxy-con but when I opened the box the…

The Etsy Journey

When I first created my Etsy site I was primarily a fiber artist. Creating small wall hangings for sale on my website. Not long after that I started to play with Polymer clay and fell in love with the versitality of it. Then onto the glass. I met someone through a fiber arts group from England and she offered me an old kiln that was over here in storage. I paid for the shipping and waited for it to arrive. Well, it arrived about a week later looking like it had been tumbled in a dryer. Broken…
