order your christmas gifts by dec. 15th!
'Tis the season! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all! What a year it's been!
I'm busy in my studio filling all of your orders to get them out in time before Christmas. Every year I feel like one of Santa's little elves working till late in the night to make sure all of your glass pieces are made with care, quality, and patience.
If you receive something that UPS or FEDex or the Post office has broken, please contact me right away to see how we can fix the situation. Please take care with unwrapping your gift as I wrap it with lots of bubble and tissue paper!
And thank you again for helping to support me and my artwork throughout the year!
About my artwork
My flamework glass sculptures and jewelry are made with borosilicate glass rods. The pieces are sculpted in an oxygen/propane flame, trimmed with 22kt gold, an. All pieces are unique, one-of-a-kind designs, that are set in natural corals, shells, and stones that represent my love for sun, sand, and sea.
