A fun group of forms I get to work with on regular basis are my glass Starfish, Fish weights and Tide Pool weights. These fun small forms are inspired by my time living on the Oregon coast and growing up on Whidbey Island. They give me a chance to try many different colors together and watch how they interact and create a design.

Recently I have started to add murrine into my blown glass work. It has been a fun challenge to try and incorporate them into new ideas. The process and planning in making the murrini has been a fun challenge.
The Incalmo technique is one of my favorites, it is created by forming glass on two different pipes and joining them together. It creates a clearly defined joint that I use it in  the designs of my vase and platters.
