I have been working on bridging the gap between Glass and Metal with this combination. Finally finding success I just had to share them. These are inside out boro pendants, with copper formed bands or cap.

Personal Adornment is one of our earliest forms of expression.
Here the personal adornment I wear. Inspired by the Sky and Water created from the Earth.

These small vessels are patterned after ancient jars known as Amphora found on sunken Greek ships by archaeologists. Thank you National Geographic for showing me this world. The connection from an ancient people with a form so clean, graceful and useful still today always leaves me amazed.
These Amphora are two to three inches long and are colored both from the inside and outside and are often fumed. They are worn around the neck as a focal point of a necklace. They can also can be used to hold essential oils for aromatherapy.

Almost everything I make has its own special beauty. But here is something special to me. This is what I became a glass worker to do. I hope you enjoy them also.

I have been looking to make some larger focal beads that are not too heavy. Hollow seems a good answer. A little gold fuming and inside out coloring makes for a nice looking focal.

Almost every bead store I'm in has asked for smaller amphora. I had real trouble making them small. I was trained to do hollow work from tubing and getting under 2 inches with consistent sizing for the neck and stopper was difficult. Then I remembered "It's a hollow bead .. thats BEAD" so I made it as a bead, wow it's simple, it's fun, only 1 to 1.25 inches long, could go smaller and looks nice. They are just great for aromatherapy.

This is for Ericka. In the message forum Ericka was asking about Glass Belt Buckles and these are for her. The hardest part is finding the metal backing in a usable size. I am searching for smaller backs so that I can make pieces more appropriate for a smaller lady.

These are smaller than traditional paper weights, but they are a size that I find more useful on my desk.

I was making some nice round paperweights when, on a break, I gazed upon one of the very first objects I very made - a little 3/4inch clear glass mushroom.
These improve on that start of 25 plus ago. Yes / No ?

When scuba diving I'm always surprised and delighted when these Princes of the sea streak by me. I hope this does them some little justice.

Warren's long-time fascination with glass began at the age of ten when a master glassblower from East Germany moved into his neighborhood. Warren watched his future teacher and mentor at every opportunity and finally began his apprenticeship in 1975. Over 25 years later, he still considers himself only a student of glass.
While circumstances have led him to other careers along the way, Warren has always been drawn back to glass. Recently he has returned his focus to his favorite artistic medium. He creates lampworked, fused and blown glass pieces including beads, marbles, paperweights, pendants, vessels, birds, sea mammals, and small wildlife. Each piece is unique, handcrafted from his private studio in the San Francisco Bay area.
His work can be found in retail stores, gift shops, galleries, and private collections internationally.
You can not buy happiness off the rack. You have to make it your self!
