I have always loved glass for as long as I can remember! I started working with stained glass then moved on to fused glass which lead to making jewelry. Within a year of learning glass art I was showing my work as a member of a co-op gallery in the Washington DC area where I stayed for 5 years. My interest in learning everything you could about glass, I moved on to making my own glass beads which I sell on ebay and have since become a Power Seller under the name of Bubbie Beads, which I even registered as a trademark!
I have always loved animals and my favorite breed the weimaraner has brought me almost 500 friends on facebook all over the world! This past weekend I held a 3 day fund raiser for a rescued weimaraner in Florida named Maddie. She spent most of her life in a crate with the exception of 4 hours a day. Maddie needs knee surgery so she can run again and be pain free. I sold my glass art and jewelry donating 100% of the proceeds which earned $467.50 during those 3 days to my friends on facebook - one large sale going to Canada with another to England!! Today I added my money to the $467.50 to bring my donation up to $500 which I transferred to Maddie's Mom for her surgery next week.
As you'll see I love to wire wrap and taught several classes, several years ago, for a local gallery near me in Northern Virginia. The wire wrap designs I'm showing you are simple designs I learned from a book years ago but my interest has since branched out into my own designs. I love bracelets but hate struggling to put them on so I came up with a one piece design that can be hooked with one hand! A few years ago a friend of mine had a weimaraner that she brought to nursing homes to visit the elderly and when the dog died she was so heart broken she asked me if I could come up with a jewelry design that would hold her dogs ashes. I made a hollow bead sealing the ashes inside and wire wrapped it into a pendant! My dog friends on facebook always talk about Rainbow Bridge and how when a dog dies they cross that bridge into heave so I came up with a design for a plate where I write the pet's names in gold. The small pieces of dichroic glass going across the bridge represents the souls of the departed dogs while the small golden hearts represent a piece of each owner's heart that goes with their dog. As you can see I do a very wide range of glass work and I pour my heart and soul into each piece I make!
I have a web site I really haven't had much time to fill with goodies to purchase but mostly sell on EBAY as well as ARTFIRE.
