The glass I use is a 104COE and includes Moretti, Effetre, Vetrofond and Lauscha. The jewelry and gift items that are made with these beads are created with high quality findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What inspires you to create?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I see color combinations, I am inspired to create beads and gifts using those colors. I have mimicked the colors in nature, and those created with lighting and frequently have created beads from popular art pieces. The longer I am working at the torch, the more ideas I have that I want to create with glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What makes your process different from other artists?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many different types of art! I paint with glass! When you see a design on one of my beads, know that I have melted and &#8220;pulled&#8221; the glass into a thin &#8220;stringer&#8221; to paint the design onto the bead that I have created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is your favorite quote &amp; why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArt washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.\u201d \u2013 Pablo Picasso <br>This quote probably sums up the reason I create my beads. They are something more&#8230;something non-routine, something to show for being on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have any career highlights you wish to share?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The highlight of my art experience was winning &#8220;Honorable Mention&#8221; in a juried art show with a glass vial pendant that I created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
