I posted this one on Ebay A couple of days ago. Just wanted show it off before it's gone. This is a Tokens glass first. I practiced this wire wrapping technique a lot before I felt comfortable to sell a set. I think it turned out great. It has all sterling silver embellishments and findings, including a beautiful sterling silver chain. The patterns that look like they were made on a jig were done by hand. If you want to see what it sells for just look up tokensglass on Ebay and add it to your watch list. I'm very proud of it and there will be more wire wraps to come. I'll put the rest in the market place next time.

I am a Lampworker in Richmond, Va. I really enjoy making Boro pendant and bead sets. I am a disabled student.In 2000 I was diagnose with Kidney Failure. This medium is perfect for me since it doesn't require hard labor and I may sit while creating pieces of art. In the fall I will be attending my first lampworking class, it will be taught by Emilio Santini. I am very excited. Being completely self taught I feel that I may have missed some of the more basic techniques, so I'm taking his beginner class and going on to intermediate then advanced over the next few semesters. I want to learn all there is to know about glass lampworking. I started out making pipes, but went to the more acceptable focus of beads and sculpture. (I live in the commonwealth:(. The police around here are really harsh on pipemakers. It is a shame, it is such a fun and gratifying not to mention profitable aspect of glass art. If I actually sit back and reflect I'd rather be known for my bead work and my new passion MARBLES!. I love making the creature beads and free form pendants. I just started making Boro mandrel bead sets and will be posting them soon. Thank yo very much for looking at my gallery. I respect what all of you are doing, glass art is an honorable craft. So many of you are skilled and extremely creative, I like that there is a place we can all come together and share our art and vision. Flame On!
