Bio

Hi! I'm Judy from AZ. My husband and 2 Welsh Pembroke Corgis, Murphy and McGee, recently moved here from Arlington Heights, IL. Our son, daughter-in-law and 2 perfect grandchildren also live in AZ. I owned a marriage and family counseling practice for 15 years and then I discovered glass. I have been designing fused glass jewelry for about 7 years in my home studio. It is my passion. To create my jewelry, I cut glass into small pieces, often layer as many as 20-25 pieces on a background glass, fire it to 1500 degrees, cool it very slowly, smooth and shape it using a grinder and often fuse it at least one more time. It is a lengthy process, but the result is dazzling. Dichroic Glass has a transmitted color and a reflected color which gives it a magical quality. Because of this it is difficult to photograph, but I try to get the most representative photos that I can. Thank you for looking. Come back anytime or email me with questions.
