weathered. wearable. Born out of a love for natural sea glass and the endless possibilities of using glass in jewelry making, I am learning and profecting the art of man-made tumbled glass. No piece the same each tumbled using natural elements- sand and water to create unique pieces of smooth to touch glass. Using my imagination to wire work each hand-crafted piece into

a wearable work of art. Glass- Bottles used are primarily old recycled wine bottles each with unique colors/textures. Tumbling- Using a tumbler, a mixture of sand/pebbles and water, the process takes about 2days depending of the type of glass and the outcome desired. Unlike natural sea glass tumbled glass tends to have a more uniform frosted texture to the surface. Why Tumbled glass? I love sea glass! Natural sea glass is the height of my inspiration- however obtaining natural sea glass can be a challenge. Increasing the need/demand for more natural sea glass could put our oceans at risk for more glass bottle pollution! So I found a better solution! Wine. Wire- I hand tangle each piece using either nickel based or more preferably 100% copper wire! I take each piece and decide whether or not to add a patina! A buffed finish and you have a hand-crafted one of a kind weathered, wired, wearable art piece!
