ABOUT ME & MY STUDIO

My name is Bonnie and I've been doing glass art/crafts since
about 1990. I took my first lampworking class at the Eugene
Glass School and as soon as I lit my torch and that huge ball of
flaming gas shot across the work table, I was hooked...by the way,
if a huge ball of flaming gas shoots out of your torch, you're
doing something WRONG!

I'm a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers
and I am a registered Self-Representing Glass Artist.

All of my beads and fused items are made with Bullseye premium
glass, made right here in Oregon.  The glass is a little stiffer and
more expensive than the imported glasses, but I find it works
wonderfully for sculptural items and it allows me to put
flameworked elements into my fused art.

All of my beads are made using a GTT Lynx surface mix
(oxygen/propane) torch.  I have an On-Site Pro4 oxygen generator
that supplies all the oxygen I need and two digitally controlled
AIM bead kilns for proper annealing of all lampworked art.

Fused pieces are made using a Denver Glass digitally controlled
kiln.

I love making handmade lampwork beads and beautiful fused pieces,
but I'm a "hobbyist" so high production isn't my thing.  This isn't
how I make my living, it's how I make myself happy and it's how I
relax.  I'll try to put up new pieces every week, but if the
weather gets good and I've got things like deer fencing to
do...well, I've also got to work.  Thank you so much for visiting my
website.
This is my lampworking station.  It was
only this neat and clean once so it's a
good thing I took a photo
then so I could share it with you now.
I had envisioned that my light table would
be used for laying out fusing projects (like I
used to do when I did stained glass), but
for the longest time it's been covered with
headpins, silver wire, beads, etc.
Poppy has almost completely recovered
from her torn ACL so she's back out on
herding duties...she loves to play with the
wild turkeys.
"Customer Appreciation Drawings". Anyone purchasing glass pieces from our website or any of our online
auctions will be entered into a drawing for one of our little creations.  You could win a handmade bead, bead set,
fused pendant or earrings.  The drawing will be held during the first week of every month and the postage for your
prize will be paid by me.

So....For each lampwork or fused item purchased an entry will be put into our drawing.
Home of handmade sculptural lampwork beads and pendants, including cats, dogs, birds, fish
and so much more, all made right here in beautiful Coquille, Oregon.
And this is now...
I've added "Buy Now" buttons to my web pages so you can buy using PayPal.  This will make it easier for
everyone and allow payment via credit card or bank transfers using PayPal's secure site.  Of course I still
accept checks via snail mail.

I've made some changes in my prices.  With the cost of everything going up I realize affordability is very
important...check out the changes.

I'm also adding some "accent beads" to some of the focals...for earrings or what have you.
Congratulations to Sandy L. of Upperville VA
Sandy is our "Customer Appreciation" winner for
the month of June !!!
It looks like summer's finally here so I had to spend a
little time in the garden with my hairy children...The
pink dogwood is just beautiful this year so I took a
photo of Rodney (on the right) and Babo (on the left)
with the dogwood blossoms.

They are my inspiration!!!
