One of Deb's hobbies





Everyone knows me as being a crafty person. I just like to do things with my hands. I started painting in 1981 a month or so after Amanda was born. 

I went to Florida in 2001 (I think), to be trained to paint murals on walls. Man what fun that was. I have since graduated from painting everything (including the toilet lid in our old house) to flame work. 

I have always loved glass sculptures and have watched the glass workers every chance I got. I really believe that is when I started learning how to sculpt glass. Allen built my glass shop in 2006. I have been asked to place a few pieced in a gallery in Park City, UT. I still work with my glass and it will always be something I can never get enough of. 

I have a new love now. Engraving! I purchased my first Paragraver in November 2008. And promptly started engraving slate to make tissue boxes for xmas. Didn't get them all done. Here are a few pictures of my studio and some of the glass I have done. Enjoy!

Deb, I love the fish. Is that Nemo? I have my rose on my fireplace mantle where everyone can see it. It is absolutely beautiful. I wish I had just an ounce of your ability. I can't wait to see your next venture.
