purple stone heart

This glass takes on the appearance and feeling of stone after cooling. This flameworked / lampworked glass heart pendant was handmade by me at my torch using soda-lime glass rods.

Cupcakes & Ice Cream

Flameoworked / Lampworked Glass Cupcake Charms

A few of these look like something in between a cupcake and an ice-cream cone but I am working on that. I put little crystals on top and thought that some of them looked like cherries!

Profile

I love creating small art glass pieces. My creations are one-of-a-kind, hand crafted entirely freehand in a torch flame out of the finest Italian soda-lime glass rods. I love the nature of glass and the challenge of mastering it in its molten state. My work requires steady hands and patience. The inspiration for my pieces comes from flowers, sea creatures, the sky and outer space.

I have been working with soft glass since 2005. I have studied the craft of flameworked glass beads in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, and Central Hong Kong. Aside from these basic bead making courses, I consider myself "formally self taught" and my main focus is on creating implosion pendants and earrings.
