Vitro-glyphs

Vitro-glyphs

These designs are from ancient Alutiiq petroglyphs found on Kodiak Island, Alaska. I call my version vitro-glyphs because I am writing in glass.The pieces are not actually beads with holes in them. I wanted them to look like stones, so no holes yet. They are boro and the frit is blue moon.

I have been making hollow forms: lamps, perfumes, ornaments, etc for many years. About two years ago I added beads, both off mandrel and mandrel-made to my repertorie. Here are some of the better ones.

Boro spinning tops. The Top of Fashion. Jewelry you can play with, toys you can wear! I make holding findings for some of these so they can be worn as pendants and unclipped to play with. They spin nicely or they don't get out of my studio!!!

I have been working boro since 1974, when I owned a crafts gallery and teaching studio in Anchorage. A lot has changed since then! I make perfume bottles, oil lamps and ornaments. I also make jewelry with boro and do all my own metal work.
