My Aunt has been a glass blower for over 30 years and everytime she blows a piece there is residual glass left on the blow pipe. She thermal shocks it off and it is broken and dirty. She never wanted to send it to a landfill and so she kept it, not knowing what she would do with it.

One day she told me that I should make stuff out of it and I told her I didn't know how. She said you have a kiln....which I did, someone gave me a used kiln years ago free. But I had never plugged it in. So I went to the library and checked out a book on Kiln Formed Glass. I read it and read it over and over again.

One day my aunt asked me, if I had made anything and I told her I had read a lot on it, but was afraid to turn on my kiln. She looked and me and said, "Mary, it is like a great big toaster...just plug it in. Log your temps and times and you will figure it out."

And I did. I am constantly coming up with new ideas and designs, and I am having so much fun!

My husband and I were trying to come up with a name for our business and I finally said, "I think I am going to call it MOHLOM." He wondered why and I told him it was an acronym for "More of HIM, less of me". It is how I signed my letters and he thought it was a great idea.

I have a heart for the unborn and so 10% of all my sales go to my local area Right to Life. And 50% of the profits of my cards, which are printed from my original drawings goes to them as well.

More of HIM, less of me,
Soli Deo Gloria,
