Blue Ice

This bracelet, inspired by the icy river just outside my studio window, has several layers of dichroic glass.

Bling is Good!

Lately I've been cranking out jewelry. Tiny glass pieces cut and layered with delicate precision. It brings me inward as I intensely work closer-up with small pieces of glass. There seems to be a rhythym to how I work...a pattern emerges. There seems to be a dance between the tiny intimate work and the larger more spacial sculptural pieces. I like the dance, the balance keeps me fresh and constantly evovling. It happens all the time.

The fused jewelry always brings a smile to my face as it comes to life. I love trying on each piece to make sure that it passes inspection. I think this particular bracelet was born on a trip to the Bahamas...the frothy white of the pearls and that aqua blue warm ocean glass...mmmm, I can feel the heat of the sun on my skin. We've had 22 days of rain and counting this month...so this bit of bling is a much needed warmth!
