My passion with molten glass began while taking my first lampworking class at Timberwolf Studios. It was LOVE at first melt! Soon after, I set up a home studio and began devoting more and more time to this addictive "hobby". As with any hobby...it soon got out of hand! Before long we were overrun with small glass beads in every room of the house...which is pretty much where I am today....living among a husband, 3 children, 2 dogs, a cat and billions of tiny glass beads...I couldn't be happier!
My style is eclectic and constantly evolves. I love to create intricate dot patterns, and being a bit of a perfectionist I can spend hours getting lost in a single bead! I also love to create sculptural pieces. "Bathing Beauty", "Rubber Ducky", and the other critter beads in my collection allow me to share my style and sense of humor with you! If you have seen any of my beads, you will undoubtedly know that I am not entirely sane. Anyone who makes tiny representations of old women in bathtubs can safely be considered "touched"!
Lampworking is a form of deep meditation to me. I often lose myself as the glass heats and flows onto the mandrel. I am so thrilled to have found a means to express myself artistically, support my addiction finaciallly, and fulfill myself spiritually! All this with a little torch and some colorful rods of glass!
If your wondering where to find me...I sell my beads at beads shows and craft fairs around New England. My Ebay business has slowed somewhat, however, I will occasionally list a set of beads on the Bay. You can also find some of my pendants and finished jewelry at the "Off the Wall" in Newburyport, Ma.
One More Thing...
Some of you may be wondering "Who are Zoe & Lil ?!!" Well, they are the two mismatched mutts that share our home with us!! Lil lays by my feet as I create all of my beads. Zoe is a black lab mutt who spends her day trying to avoid Lil!
All of my Ebay auctions can be found by typing "Zoe & Lil" in the search box!
ENJOY!!! Stephanie Izzy & Me The "Dungeon" Studio
