A Sample of What I Do!

Tree of Life:   This is hand-etched into the metal so no two are alike.  I've also done Joshua trees, oak trees, olive trees etc.

My daughter's handwriting in glass!  This has been one of my favorite things  to do and could very well become an heirloom keepsake!   Just need you to email me a what you want your child's pendant to say in your child's PRINTED handwriting. 

Personalized pendants in glass. 

"Beautifully Broken" Crosses.  Each one comes with this message:  "After I trained with two glass artisans one of my biggest takeaways as a new artist was the desire to find my own "voice" in my work once my training was done (I’ve learned since it’s never really done). Because glass can be fickle, I was sitting in my workshop one day lamenting all the pendants I had fired that didn't match my vision, for one reason or another. I felt I'd wasted God's resources and was really frustrated about my shortcomings as an artist. While this was still on my mind, I heard "Beautifully Broken" by LeadHer worship leader, Lori Mosteller. It was then that God spoke into my heart, "I had to break you to make you" and He gave me the vision to repurpose my "mistakes" into something NEW. Our Creator doesn't toss us aside or throw us away because we don't meet His vision for us. He takes who we are, WHERE WE ARE and breaks us through intervention, circumstance, trials, heartache, redirection, removal...whatever it takes. And he takes us in our brokenness, moves the pieces around and creates something NEW through his son, Jesus Christ. Beloved, know that our God SEES your potential, your value and your BEAUTY...even when you don't. In your brokenness, it may feel your life is being thrown away but in God's hands, He will make you whole again and if you let Him, you will be MORE than you ever thought you could be. May you know God's blessing today and everyday. You are Holy and DEARLY LOVED."

This is the cross I wear.

Nickel riveted onto gold filled metal and strung roble beads imported from the Philippines.  There are 3 strands for the trinity.

A Mother's Day gift: An "I love you" pendant written in my daughter's handwriting with matching earrings.  

My friend's husband deployed to Afghanistan and she found a love note from him after he left.  This pendant is a  "love" in his handwriting from that note.
