African Women Pendant

I love the simplicity and expressiveness of African designs. Inspired by African women statues, I have created these glass pendants that symbolize friendship, motherhood or just simply glorify women!... More Info Less Info

Using a rod of black glass, i pulled a stringer which i used as a pen to melt figures into the glass using a torch to melt the glass as I "draw". I then twist glass of different colors to create interesting dresses. These designs require a very steady hand... The effect can be compromised with the slightest hand shake

These are truly unique: I miniaturized the implosion technique to make perfect spring flower earrings.... More Info Less Info

This is not easy! i use a rod of yellow glass, then implode 8 dots of white into it, The challenges are multiple: to lay the dots perfectly symetrically... Imploded them whithout any slant, then create a second one that matches!!! I do not use any mold to shape these. I am very proud of this product!

I use borosilicate glass, made in America exclusively.
