Lampworking using recycled glass is art using broken objects.
It seems like there's never enough time for my passions of beading, spinning and weaving.
Here is a cobalt blue piece that I call, "Night Skies Over Prescott".
I created this piece from scards given to me my Cindy Myers, a member of Arts Prescott and glass blower. Attached is an vintage glass piece Jürgen and I picked up in Neu Gablonz, a suburb of Kaufbeuren, in southern Germany. That bead searching trip brought many great fi
nds. We found cut glass beads which were created with such precision. In the cellar of one of the bead shops we came across a bag of glass buttons. I would say it weighted about 4 lbs. These glass buttons were so dirty from the dusty cellar that the colors were nearly impossible to detect. I love those buttons and I use them making many of my off loom beaded cuffs. They make great closures for many types of jewelry.
As you can tell I have fun enjoying all of my bead and fiber friends. Laughing keeps one young and feeling great.
