The diversity of products made in the Juno Glass Art and Jewelry studio is ever increasing. As a small boutique studio, we make unique items and sell through a limited number of museum shops and fine craft galleries. Always colorful and contemporary, the jewelry, ornaments, picture frames, serveware and other items produced are lots of fun.

When I attended the Tucson Bead show last Feb, I boughts LOTS of african beads (and my first kente cloth!). Since then. I've been playing with combining the complex lines from my beach umbrella pendants and earrings with coordinating african christmas and trade beads.

We now make picture frames to hold your special memories. The frames vary in size, with most made to hold 3x5" to 5x7" images. We had almost as much fun choosing the images to show off the frames as we did making the fused glass frames themselves.

Making quilts is like making jazz, some people say. Inspired from kente cloth from Ghana, the bright colored stripes of this series are woven together to produce a complex, upbeat harmony.

A recent trip to Seattle was quite inspiring and I've come home with lots of new ideas. These are new earrings and pendants I made last week; they'll hopefully be available soon in the galleries and museum shops that sell Juno Glass Art & Jewelry.

Making Christmas ornaments has become a tradition in the Juno Glass studio, and we hear that some folks are starting a collection. This year, instead of making a new group, we focused on improving our angels, trees, etc. to a higher standard. Enjoy!

The newest offering from Juno Glass Art and Jewelry, we've made lots of these 'piccolini.' Translated from Itaian, piccolini means 'teeny weeny.' The plates come in many different colors and styles, but all are about 3 1/4" sq and 1/2" deep. They're available at many of the stores listed on our website, www.junoglassart.com.

I've lately had the luxury of experimenting with new styles and materials. In particular, I'm working on wire fused into glass and then woven with beads and wire, especially recycled telephone wire. I'm also focusing on developing and refining techniques used previously.

This new group of jewelry is complex in design while small in scale. Since I began using quilt patterns, kente cloth and modern art as inspiration, it made sense to transfer what I was doing on a large scale to personal adornment.

Birds are chirping outside the window. Spring is around the corner.I made it through the icy snowy winter by hiding out in my studio making the most colorful plates and trays imagineable. This group is an evolution from my earliest 'awning stripe' work. I keep cutting different sizes and shapes and reassembling them. I also incorporated the very end pieces of the awning stripe bases, which is how I got the 'fringe' on some of the work.

Remember the 'lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer?' I call this group 'awning stripe' because it reminds me of the canvas awnings people would use to shade their windows in the summer.These plates and jewelry are made by first fusing colorful stringers on a clear base, cutting them, and then re-forming them in a variety of ways. This first image is hot-hot-hot!

I'm trying out some new techniques this summer. The blue plate is like my 'tribal' work, but the strips are cut from glass constructed with liquid stringers. The red/orange/yellow platter is kind of retro and looks like a tray of hors d'oeuvres - what fun!

This group is an outgrowth of my 'awning stripe' work. It looks like DNA, doesn't it?

Even though I live in a land-locked state, I have a fascination with the ocean. Each of these pieces of fused glass jewelry represent various underwater fantasies, from dark ocean mysteries to clear sun-filled pools.

I've been fascinated with kente cloth from Ghana for some time; the bright colors and complex designs are intriguing. This group grew out of my 'awning stripe' work, and I plan to develop more work in this genre.

Making ornaments is a great way to take concepts I've developed in the last year and polish them in a small scale. I sell these at museum shops and galleries. They are also fun to use as suncatchers.

I have had lots of fun making these wire-wrapped fused glass ornaments. Each is around 3" in length; I collect different colors and types of wire all year to wrap the trees. Many are made with glass I designed using frit and other elements.Many are bead-embellished, too.
