There is something incredibly grounding about working with materials that come straight from the earth. My latest project features these stunning Acai berry beads, sustainably harvested and known for their unique, organic patterns. No two beads are exactly alike—each one carries its own “fingerprint” of dark swirls and rich, berry-stained hues. I’ve paired these natural…

There is something deeply satisfying about working with materials that have a story before they even reach the studio. My latest project features a standout organic element: Acai beads. While most of us know acai as a superfood, these vibrant, earthy seeds are also a staple of sustainable artistry. Harvested from the Euterpe precatoria palm…

There is something incredibly satisfying about the “sorting phase” of a new project. Before the wire is cut or the first link is formed, it all starts right here—with a simple palette of color and texture. I’ve been spending some time at the bench lately playing with this specific combination of weathered gold and matte…

We are absolutely enchanted by this new arrival: a pair of stunning, artisan-made dangle earrings that perfectly balance earthy, organic textures with sophisticated design.

My daughter and I have mostly stayed inside the last couple of days due to the weather.  I’ve been wanting to work on this project for months.  I finally had the time. I may or may not make more. This post was created January 2026

When I first started my artistic journey, the name “Sacred Lotus Glass” felt perfect. It beautifully captured the essence of my passion: the intricate beauty of the lotus, a symbol of purity and rebirth, combined with the mesmerizing medium of glass – specifically, fused glass and lampwork. There’s something truly magical about working with glass.…

Not being able to make a simple face out of clay myself was a little heart breaking.  It’s been too long and apparently it’s not like riding a bike.  I made a mold from one of my daughter’s dolls instead.  Hopefully the rest will come together.  Without paint they are a little creepy.  I’ve never…
