My mixed media jewelry is made with my original flameworked glass beads and kilnformed glass in combination with fiberwork, beadwork and/or metalwork.
I have been playing with fire since 1987 and working with fiber since 1975.
To create jewelry I combine glass pieces and beads with fiber techniques of knotting and beadweaving. I use fine linen, nylon and/or silk cord depending on the texture and color I want to achieve. In some pieces the fiber is prominent, in others the glass is prominent. As my work has evolved it has become more narrative in nature. I think of each piece as a sculpture with a story.
