changing seasons, changing colors, the sensual twists of the falling leaves as they dance and crackle in the wind....
this series was inspired by my friend dr. ed who gifted me with a treasure box of colored scrap...which i melted down and reformed into this series of autumn leaves bottle stoppers. there is something very sensual about the curved leaf shapes, and with the use of frit and varied colors, they have a great organic feel. i enjoy creating these so much that i have incorporated this into a regular product line.

Kristen Pickett first began flameworking in Charlotte, N.C. more than twentyfive years ago, under the instruction of Richard McCleary of "The Lost Art". This artist's glassblowing co-op also operated the Glass Shop at Carowinds, a theme park on the border of the Carolinas. She continued her creative pursuit of expression through pottery, painting, and jewelry making while simultaneously balancing a nursing career and raising a family. Kristen now devotes the majority of her time to glassworking in her home studio on beautiful Jekyll Island, GA. Gypsea spirit prevailing, she travels frequently back and forth to her new studio in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. She enjoys the laidback tropical lifestyle and the jammin' music from her husband's band, The WharfRatz, of which she is also the managing agent.
