What makes us who we are?

I’ve really been getting into making beads with many layers.I like the rich diverse relationship that each color has with the other and what happens when the two meet.I’m never quite sure what will happen when I’m finished. It is always a delight and surprise when I get to check the kiln in the morning.

I start off with and idea, an intention, but the glass has a way of doing what it wishes.Its kind of like parenting children, guiding and letting go…Finding the balance. When the balanced is achieved within the tiny glass orb…BRILLIANCE!! Beads to be proud of!! This is why I love making beads, its meditative , its like life…Beautiful and yet ever changing…Enjoy!!

Taking the Gloves Off

             

I saw these great fingerless gloves this winter and had to have them. During my week of inspiration ( more like a life time of inspiration ) I took a picture of them and then used it as inspiration for a pair of earrings. I’m very happy with the results. They intentionally don’t match, another one of my favorite things to do. Look for my new inspiration pieces  at Gallery 99. The show is being held at The M Dolan Jr Building, 3 Broad St in Glens Falls NY on the 31st.  The show will run for 3 days Thursday, February 2nd thru Saturday the 4th. Some of the Gallery exhibitors including myself are Maria Wolf, Diane Swanson, Chung-Ah Park, Robin Blakney-Carlson and Jon Katz

Meet the artists Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012  (5-8pm)
