Product Description

My glass bowls are handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces. I create them by slumping glass into various shapes in the kiln, edging them with copper foil and lead-free solder, then embellishing them with decorative items. I also fire images into some of the bowls, using gold or platinum luster. I further enhance my creations with charms and images from nature: leaves, flowers, dragonflies, hummingbirds, goldfish, and turtles. Sometimes I use elements from Asian design: Chinese letters for love and friendship, and Buddha charms.

I add beads of infinite variety to adorn my bowls, either alone or in combination with charms and images. I have also developed a beautiful “jewel on glass” style by decorating my bowls with vintage jewelry.
