My Life... They say a picture is worth 1000 words. Well here is the best visual representation of my passion...My love! Here's why I do it. Sometimes its a struggle but its worth it. "Shoot for the moon... Even if you miss you're still amongst the Stars."- B. Sigel



This Gallery Page is Dedicated to the loving memory of Noah's Mom, Melanie Elizabeth Montoya (11/28/1976-11/13/2003) We miss you Melly and I know you're loking down, smiling, watching all of our dreams come true. Promise made promise kept. I told you we'd make it...

Jones Art Glass
Hand crafted Lampwork reflecting the beauty of the High Desert Southwest. I began Lampworking in spring of 2000. The work presented here is a testament to all the hard work, patience, and skill it takes to keep glass hot, well formed, and beautiful. There's no where on earth quite as eye catching as the desert here in New Mexico, hopefully my work captures that. Without the patience and support of God and my colleauges I never could have made it this far. Thank you to: Lewis Wilson and the whole Crytal Myths fam, KBGlassworks for all the things I cant mention here, and the glass support, The Wisconsin Squad, Paul and Devin; the Queen City Lampworks team for trading me for my first beads without clowning me, Harold Williams Cooney aka"Happy" your work ethic is amazing, Kevin O'Grady for showing me how to sell all this stuff I keep making, and of course my son Noah...Its all for you man. Feel free to contact me either by Phone or Email for all purchase information. Thank you for spending some time with me...

hey
hey rashan, did you used to blow glass with/for a smoke shop called Burnies Smoke Shop, in ABQ or something like that? My wife and I used to sell you stuff when we lived in Taos, Bryan Heath and Eliza Torlyn, we were Jedi Glassworks. I hope you are doing great and it looks like it,take it easy.

What a wonderful page!
To celebrate your life and your Love for your son, and to keep Mom's spirit alive! That is one of the greatest gifts you can give him. Such a positive vibe...I just made you a bead tonight. The theme was you and your son...and then, I came and saw this. I have to admit...tears are in my eyes...BIG hugs(((())))...you are a strong soul!
Can't wait to meet you some day. Peace,
Sheila

Hope all went well in Tucson? See you in Feb!
