What do you do? I'm a professional glass artisan. I create everything from lampworked beads, fused glass and jewelry to leaded and stained glass windows. I've done just about everything you can think of to glass from carving it to repairing it. With the exception of blowing it (so far) there is nothing I cannot do with glass.
What made you start selling your creations? I always wanted a business of my own, so when there was little work for me at the studio where I worked I started concentrating on my own creations and it just grew from there.
What is your most likely distraction? My computer and the interwebs...specifically DIYScene.com.
We all have projects that fail, or don’t come out as planned, tell us about one of yours. I was cooking a batch of glass while in the TNT chat that we have on Thursday evening and got too preoccupied with chat and I overcooked the glass which made the Stained Glass Sugar Skull pieces I was making melt too much. So in the end when they cooled they looked like blobs of glass with stretched out faces. It was horrible!
What is your favorite artistic or crafty website? http://www.DIYScene.com
What is your favorite quote or words of inspiration? My favorite quote is from a Robert Frost poem. "From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire"
What advice would give to someone wanting to start selling their creations online? Network, network, network & marketing, marketing, marketing. You just have to do SOMETHING for your business every day even if it's just adding people to your facebook or myspace.
What song gets you going? Terror by My Ruin
If money were no object, what would you be doing right now? Traveling, taking glass classes at Pilchuck or Eugene Glass Schools, or taking private lessons from well known artists, buying partnership into my favorite studio here in Dallas...Kittrell Riffkind Art Glass, buying new equipment and lots of it, buying a TON of glass, restoring my '81 camero to cherry condition, essentially partying like a rockstar and having tons of fun.
3 words that best describe you are: Creative, a little OCD, Fun
