Artisan's
statement:
Bling Squared Wearable Glass Sculpture is a husband and wife team of glass sculptors.
Each and every unique piece is designed, sculpted right in the open flame, kiln annealed, cleaned and made into jewelry and fashion accessories in their home studio on Salt Spring Island.
Their inspiration comes from obsessions with Japanese animation, comic books, fashion, pop culture and their daughter – leading them to create a large variety of endearing characters and designs that have an uncanny ability to make people smile and sometimes even eliciting a gasp or squeal.
They are always branching out with new designs and improving on old ones. They adore their craft and art, and the very best reward they have found is finding others who love their little sculptures as much as they do.

Artisan's
statement: "When designing a piece it’s important for me to express a kind of whimsy – fun, friendly, bold and outgoing are words that have been used to describe my pieces. Connecting with people is important to me and I want my designs to communicate this. I like when a piece of jewelry sparks a conversation or when it reveals something about the wearer’s personality”.

Artisan's
statement: Fulltime glass beadmaker since 2002. My work has traveled around the world & has been featured in galleries & juried shows here in Canada. From large fused works, (my largest was a life-sized fused glass quilt that was featured in my solo show at the Kamloops Art Gallery,) to small but perfectly detailed beads, I go wherever the glass takes me. My latest passion is pairing glass with metal in electroforming & metal coring of my beads.
