Over 30 years ago I took a stained glass class, at a cute neighborhood gift shop by day, and art school in the evening. After purchasing all the supplies, I made stained glass suncatchers and window pieces for family & friends, and soon began selling my pieces to shops and at shows. Through the years my work has evolved, and I began incorporating quilt pieces and lace (a few of my favorite things) into my Stained Glass windows. Since I love vintage paper, fiber, film and whatnots, I began to combine vintage findings with my Stained Glass craft too.

I mainly create jewelry items now, with a few suncatchers thrown in. I enjoy the immediate gratification I achieve from creating a piece of jewelry vs. the time it takes to create a window piece. Creating unique pieces of jewelry allows me to spend time at my favorite pastime - strolling through antique malls, attending auctions, and rummaging through thrift shops, to find pieces to use in my jewelry!

Thanks to Etsy I have been able to share my craft with a worldwide audience.
