    Pointing Toward Something New… 🦔

    They say you should always “stick” to your goals, but I might be taking that advice a little too literally. I’ve spent the morning sorting, capping, and caffeinating. These **porcupine quills** are officially prepped and ready for action. They’re sharp, they’re sleek, and they have a distinct “don’t sit on me” energy that I find…

    The Point of Friendship: A Quilly Connection

    They say a true friend knows exactly what you need—even if what you need is a handful of sharp, defensive animal hair. Back in 2024, I put a call out on Facebook with a request that some might find a little… prickly. I asked for **porcupine quills**. While most people would run the other way…

    Tiny Fairy Babies Appeared During the Snowstorm

    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

    Blooming Beyond the Kiln: Why “Sacred Lotus Glass” is More Than Just a Name

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.…

  • Cast Faces

    Cast Faces

    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…

  • Crown of Thorns

    I made a crown of thorns a while ago.  I hung on to both of them for a while.  I never showed anyone.  Then one day I brought the biggest one to a show.  After a few people tried it on, the most perfect customer bought it.  I sold the small one a couple months…

    There is something incredibly special about sitting down at a messy table with my daughter, a pile of supplies, and no plan other than to create something beautiful.

    The Colonel, The Physicist, and the Glass from 1861. 

    I hadn’t dated in nearly a decade. For ten years, my heart had been a quiet house with the lights turned low. I wasn’t looking for a spark; I was looking for a “forever”—the kind of man who would never leave. Then came the Colonel. We talked on the phone for hours before we ever…
