Catch me 2 weeks from today at the Willamette Heritage Center 10 AM-4 PM for the 38th Annual Sheep to Shawl Festival. I'll have lots of new hot glass work for sale. There will be sheep (of course), llamas, alpacas and other furry friends, textile artists, lace makers, a blacksmith, and more. Free, plenty of parking. See you then.

Today's pretty. This is ring I made for my son's kindergarten teacher, when he graduated from the school as a 5th grader.

This is a shape I make a lot, with infinite design differences in each one. Making a half transparent/half solid bead gives me a base to create a micro-world inside. These get put into simple necklaces, though I am always trying to sort out more elevated settings for them. I love making little sea creature bits of glass to place inside, like in this one. Glass is amazing!

Here's me working in glass. This method is called lampworking, or torch work. A good way to think about it is small-scale glass blowing, often without the blowing part of it. I do blow glass on a small scale, but In this photo I'm just winding molten glass onto a mandrel. The torch is over 2,000 F. Hot stuff!

Do these beads look like sweets? I encased lampworking enamel in clear Moretti glass. Now they're a bracelet with a pewter toggle. This and 300 other pieces I've made at: The Handmade Market: Saturday, December 3, 10 AM-5 PM, Oregon State Fairgrounds, Jackman-Long Building 2330 17th Street NE, Salem, OR. I'll be in booth B-9.

I posted this on my original server and I know those posts don't go with me so I'm posting it for myself one more time, cause it makes me smile. I just adore glass. I love working with it, I love that it has a huge say in what happens. It is a weird and wacky substance and I just want to live inside the things I have made.

One more post before I go back to the metalsmith studio, an introduction one. I'm a jeweler, forging pieces and melting glass in the Portland area of Oregon. I love sharing art and photos of the world outside! I can be sporadic, but that means adventures, usually, so it's a good thing!
