I am a retired teacher. I spent most
of my career teaching middle school art which I found to be an exciting and challening assigment. From there I went to the
elementary level and taught computer skills to 4th - 6th grade students. I have a wonderful
husband, Chuck and then there's Shiloe - our newest family member, a beautiful Dalmatian who is now 3 years old and very
"busy."
I have always
been interested in working with hot glass and find that lampwork beadmaking fulfills that desire. There is something hypnotic
about working in the flame - it just draws you in.
Working with glass gives me a feeling of satisfaction, accomplishment
and completion.
I hope that you will enjoy my work - and that some of it will bring a smile to your face.

About my "assistants"...
|
Shiloe at 8 months.
|
Shiloe is a "petite"
gal - dal. She weights in at 38 lbs compared to the 50 that Vangie weighed. Very different temperments and behaviors.
Vangie would "yodel"
for a lack of a better discription to get your attention, Shiloe "squeals" and squeeks.
|
On Sunday, July 8th, 2007, Shiloe came into our family - things
have not been the same since! She beautiful, loving, demanding and fearless and we love her.
|
Meet "Shiloe,
Lady of the Glen". She's a real sweet heart with what I call "wise eyes". Here she is at 12 weeks old. She's not quite ready to be my assistant
yet...

Vangie-
"Army's Prize,
Evangline"
March 14, 1990 - April 16, 2007
|
Spring of 2007, I lost my best fur-friend
and helper Vangie.
Vangie's passing left a major hole in my life. In the last
six months of her life her degenerative mylopothy required a lot of attention - that I was glad to give.
Shiloe has brightend our lives - and brought lots of puppy energy into the house.
Time has been a great healer..
