Have you made something with my beads??

If you're a crafter or artist and have created something unique with my beads or glass tiles, and would like to be featured in my website as a guest artist, please email me at cec235@hotmail.com.

Spinning Wheels of Color....

Welcome to Glass & Light, Israel. If we haven't met before, you can visit my "other blog" (see link on the right) for a more personal view into my soul.

I spent a few days realizing my dream of learning to make kaleidoscopes. I still have a long way to go but I'm excited to have met with some success already.


The first noted here has straight sides, a decorated casing, and no object in front but a few bead dangles. I put in some colored mirror inside and this tinted everything aqua. The photo on my "other" blog was taken with this scope.



The second also has straight sides and a revolving agate over the end. The agate has natural color variations and an unusual shape that combines with the view you see through the scope. The photo below was taken with this scope.






The third scope is an itty-bitty tapered scope. I put one of my lampwork disks in the front and there isn't much light. You can see photos of that scope in my Flickr photo collection (there's a link in my "other" blog to that, too).

Did you know I recycle?

I reuse shipping and packing materials whenever possible. If relevant, your package will include a note to let you know how I conserved resources when packing up your purchase.
