Artist Note:
There comes a time in the life of an artist where either by request or necessity, it is time to sell their art. I am an artist not an entrepreneur. The mechanics of selling my creations does not come easily to me. Yet I have had requests for my pieces. Etsy seems too impersonal. And sitting out in the hot sun, sweating and getting bit by bugs at art fairs is not my thing ever.
Here is my compromise - I will list my creations here with their price. No two pieces are the same - even the swizzle sticks. If you see something you like, contact me (see contact page) and let me know the item catching your eye. I can then answer your questions about it - size, more photos, etc. If it is no longer available, we can discuss the possibility of me creating a similar piece for you to view.
Regarding payment - at this time Paypal works great for me. I am investigating Square. If you have a preferred method of paying - let me know.
Thank you for indulging my artistic and personal weirdness.

Cabochons - Necklaces - Jewelry
Cabochons are glass designs that are used as necklaces. Each of my creations will have a bail so you can wear it with a chain of your choosing.
I make several kinds of cabochons - my specialty is the Relic collection - made with chemical reactions of glass that resemble geologic polished stones. - often with gold splashes to make them more eye-catching. Folks are surprised to find out these cabochons are actually made from glass.
A second type of cabochon I create is an embellished dichroic piece. I start with a dichroic cabochon and then embellish it with decals, usually in gold or silver and then cover them in a protective resin.
The third type are dichroic cabs - they are eye catching and wonderful pieces of jewelry.
Another type is made with reactive glass - they have an earthy vibe.

Sizzlin' Swizzle Sticks - Who Knew??
Who knew I needed a swizzle stick? I am 74 and never owned a swizzle. Coffee with cream - just swirl the cup around a few times. Beverage with more than two ingredients (ice counts as an ingredient) - give it a quick stir with my finger. But then came that fateful day when I was chatting with an artist friend (FavyFav on Instagram) and asked him his thoughts on swizzle sticks. BAM! He said they were HOT! I needed to start making them immediately, and you know what? He was right.
Today, I cannot imagine drinking a beverage, hot or cold, adult or otherwise, without a swizzle. Using a swizzle ramps up the experience - it makes me feel special.
If you purchase one of my swizzles, or a dozen, please, please use them. I want you to feel special too.

Swizzle Stick Prices
Swizzles can be custom made. I make the colored glass on the top and bottom. Let me know your preferred colors. I can often put a strip down the middle. I can make any length you prefer. I mostly make 5 inch and 7 inch swizzles. The 5 inch swizzles sell for $10, and the 7 inch sell for $15, plus shipping.

Art Pieces
Then, there is the category of ART. Cabochons and trays are art. But occasionally I create a piece of glass that is too lovely to cut up for another creation - it is art in and of itself.
Or maybe a piece of glass calls out to be a framed wall hanging, or a vase.
Often, art leads the way - the artist follows. It's a crazy journey, creating art - especially with glass, which has a mind of its own.
