    About

    • The glass working table.
    • The metal and bead working table.

    Jewelry made with joie de vivre!

    Etsy is a wonderful venue for small scale artisans. I work from my home studio in Southwestern Ontario. When I discovered this wonderful Etsy way to get my work seen by people all over the world who appreciate artisan work, I was so pleased.

    My garage is set up as my lampworking studio, and I'll tell you honestly, it's usually a messy, creative clutter! I do the metal smithing and assembly work in my inside studio.

    Thank you for stopping by!

      I've been making jewelry of some kind for practically my my whole life. What I enjoy most now is lampworked glass, kiln cast glass, fine silver metal clay and metal smithing. I love how it all comes together.

    Shipping
    Remember that your item will be shipped from Canada and will spend time in Customs. I ship through Canada Post using Small Packet. This does not include tracking. Tracking is available using Tracked packet which costs on average $17.00 to the US and $50.00-$55.00 to Europe. Please contact me if you with tracking as otherwise it is not included.

    I ship twice a week, usually on Tuesdays and Fridays. There is no Postal pickup on Saturdays or Sundays where I live.

    Many customers live in countries where their Postal Systems collect VAT and also charge a service to do so. I am unable to know what these costs will be, and do not collect or submit them. Usually your post office can help you find out what they might be. VAT is never included in my shipments.

    I put the exact sale amount on customs forms.
