Every item in my shop is a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art. My glass beads and pendants are individually hand-crafted by me in my North Carolina home.
Each piece begins in the form of colored glass rods which are melted, manipulated and shaped in the flame of a 2000°F torch, then placed into a digitally controlled kiln for annealing and slow, overnight cooling.
